 * Hi,
 * thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.
 * When going to the “Edit” screen of this page (probably [https://oneto.fischhand.nl/wp-admin/post.php?post=528&action=edit](https://oneto.fischhand.nl/wp-admin/post.php?post=528&action=edit)),
   do you actually see the Shortcode for this table, or maybe the HTML code for 
   the table?
    (I have recently seen themes that replaced the Shortcode with the
   HTML code…)
 * Regards,
    Tobias

 * I do see the edit page of the table.
    Also the table still shows highlighted 
   rows when hovering over. Also this has been checked of.
 * For now I’ll try to re-create the table from the raw data… and will see….

 * Indeed when I went into my Divi page to replace the short code it was replaced
   by the html of the table… inserting the new short code has solved the issue for
   now.

 * Hi,
 * thanks for checking and confirming this! My assumption is that Divi replaces 
   the Shortcode with the table HTML code when using some sort of frontend editing.
   Thus, I recommend to refrain from using that on any pages with Shortcodes.
 * Regards,
    Tobias
