Change Shortcode (not using tablepress extension)

    I am using tablepress with a purchased wordpress theme. I was originally having an issue with the theme’s table shortcode replacing the tablepress shortcode every time the page was updated. I resolved this issue by changing the name of the tablepress shortcode. I thought my problems where solved…but I was wrong.

    I still have a conflict with the tablepress shortode and the theme shortcode. All shortcodes in my theme are closed with [/endcode] (Example). The theme automatically adds this same code to the end of the tablepress shortcode.

    Example:

    new table shortcode: [uic-tbl id=1 /]
    After updating page: [uic-tbl id=1 /][/uic-tbl] (added by theme)

    Is there any way to remove the ” /” (space and forward slash) from the shortcode? I assume the theme is reading this as one of its own codes and adding the “close” tag.

    Great plugin!

    Thank you for any help.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    So, just to confirm, you already changed the table Shortcode from TablePress to uic-tbl?
    That would mean that your theme is modifying Shortcodes that another plugin (TablePress in this case) added — which is very bad behavior by your theme. You should really ask the theme developer to stop doing this.

    Regardless, it’s no problem to remove the / manually in the post editor, i.e. you can change

    [uic-tbl id=1 /]

    to

    [uic-tbl id=1]

    manually after copy/pasting the Shortcode or after using the table button in the editor toolbar. If the theme then modifies this to

    [uic-tbl id=1][/uic-tbl]

    everything will still work fine.

    Regards,
    Tobias
