 * Hi im using the plugin “shortcoder” to add a html formatted table as a shortcode
   into the one page express homepage. its being added into the “stripped-coloured-
   icon-boxes” section and the “about-big-images-section” the shortcuts add fine
   and show great when you look at the site but if you go back into the cusomiser
   the shortcode is replace with the actual content and then disappears from the
   site and customiser. Meaning i need to delete waht it puts in and then add the
   shortcode again to make it work.
 * any idea whats going on?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fshortcoder-and-ope-problem%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi,
 * In the pro version you have an “add shortcode” in the add elements button. To
   achieve this in free version you have to wrap the element in a div like this
 * `<div data-content-shortcode="shorcode attr1=&quot;attr1-val&quot;">[shorcode
   attr1="attr1-val"]</div>`
 * Make sure you html escape the data-content-shortcode value.

 * Thanks,
    ok so if im adding a shortcode of; [sc name=”map”] do i type; `<div 
   data-content-shortcode="sc name=&quot;map&quot;">[sc name="map"]</div>`
 * as it adds the dvi tag before and the close div tag after it is this right?
    
   I take it thats for the template only not to be added into the customiser
