• What's a social locker? Shortcodes have to be self contained, you can't pass [shortcode] in one call, then [/shortcode] in another – Tom J Nowell ♦ Commented Mar 26, 2018 at 20:09

The do_shortcode() syntax requires everything in one string.

<?php
$lockit = '[lockercat]' . 'your buttons etc.' . '[/lockercat]';
echo do_shortcode($lockit);
?>
