What's going wrong

Site owners who wrap one shortcode around another, such as a tab inside a slider, a table inside a button, or a membership block around an Elementor template, report that the inner shortcode simply does not render. Some see nothing where the inner content should be; others see the plugin change nothing at all. The reports come from owners of many page builders, galleries, and membership or form plugins, and most say single shortcodes work fine on their own. Because the failure is silent, owners cannot tell whether they made a mistake or the setup is unsupported. A tool that tests and explains nested shortcode output would help them fix it.
