 * Hello,
 * I use a plugin to personalize webpage with a person’s name taken from the URL
   string. i.e. Dear [as what=”firstname”] = Dear Michael
 * url.com?firstname=Michael
 * When I try to include that shortcode within the typing shortcode, it breaks the
   typing effect. Are you aware of any workarounds? The personalization plugin is
   my own custom plugin so I can have my developer make any necessary changes to
   accommodate using your shortcode just wondering if you had any initial guidance?
   Thanks!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fuse-a-shortcode-within-the-typing-shortcode%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_
