# 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
