 * To attempt to solve this rendering problem I posed it to AI in both CoPilot and
   ChatGPT. AI offered different solutions but both agreed it was likely due to 
   the shortcodes being wrapped inside of other shortcodes. AI recommended disabling
   SU’s HTML-comment wrapper and feature image display that would require changes
   to the function.php file. Other recommended fixes included creating and overriding
   the SU template in a child theme which seemed to me like it was the same as keeping
   version 7.4.2. Since each time I attempt a fix my website is disrupted for a 
   time, I’ll just keep 7.4.2 and recheck every time a new version comes out.

 * Since the rendering errors all occurred inside an SU column, today I attempted
   to find out if it could be related. I copied the two lines that seem to be the
   offenders (the image and the commented out embedyt) and pasted them outside of
   the row/column shortcodes. The problem was exactly the same, so the row/column
   is not the culprit.
 * Remember the problem only shows up when I attempt to show the post inside of 
   a Woocommerce product description using the su_post shortcode. The image near
   the top of the post shows twice, and the html comment with the embedyt shortcode(
   but not the <div>) near the bottom of the post show up in browsers.
 * So I’m thinking maybe the su_post shortcode is conflicting with Woocommerce somewhere.
   Everything works fine on ver 7.4.2 but renders wrong on 7.4.3 and above. I’m 
   at my wits end.

 * Just noticed that somehow this had been marked as “resolved” but it is NOT. I
   rechecked the problem by upgrading to 7.4.5 again today and the rendering problem
   returned, so I downgraded to 7.4.2 and have re-marked it as “unresolved” again.
   I hope someone will have some ideas for me to try so I can keep this plugin up
   to date for security reasons.

 * Thanks for the reply Hastibe, but I do not use any SU add-ons.
 * Today I tried updating to 7.4.5 just hoping that maybe some other repair fixed
   my problem but it didn’t help. I’m going to have to stay with 7.4.2 for now.

 * I also get the identical error message. It prevents me from being able to make
   any changes to the SG Optimizer buttons and they all say disabled. A SiteGround
   tech says the conflict with the WordPress Rest API is preventing the proper display
   of what is active or inactive on the SG Opt page. He said I have several things
   that are active but no way to see their condition on that page. I have disabled
   the SG Opt plugin for now but would really like to be able to use it properly.

 * Since I didn’t get any perfect answers, I gave up and settled for this which 
   works. I hard coded the image used for the main jewelry category:
 *     ```
       /* Change bg color of the one image used for Jewelry category */
       img[src*="/wp-content/uploads/JewelryCat2.png"]{background-color:#f5f3ed !important;}
   
       /* Change bg color of the Jewelry sub cats */
       .term-jewelry li.product-category img {background: #f5f3ed !important;}
   
       /* Change bg color of all the Jewelry products */
       .woocommerce .product_cat-jewelry img {background-color:#f5f3ed !important}
       ```

 * Using first-child seems to work here: [https://www.hebrewwordpics.com/store/](https://www.hebrewwordpics.com/store/)
   
   but, of course, it doesn’t accomplish the objective if categories are displayed
   differently like here: [https://www.hebrewwordpics.com/product-category/jewelry/test/](https://www.hebrewwordpics.com/product-category/jewelry/test/)
   which displays all categories and sub-categories together. The first-child is
   colored but not the jewelry categories.
 * `.woocommerce .product_cat-jewelry img {background-color:#f5f3ed !important}`
   
   seems to get the individual products in the jewelry category colored correctly
   and
 * `.term-jewelry li.product-category img{background: #f5f3ed !important;}`
    seems
   to get the jewelry sub-categories colored correctly, but only when displayed 
   as sub-categories of the jewelry category, not when displayed otherwise shown
   in the second link above.
 * I even tried manually coloring the individual categories and sub-cats using CSS
   here
    `.li.product_category img[src$="https://i2.wp.com/www.hebrewwordpics.com/
   wp-content/uploads/JewelryCat2.png"] {background-color:#f5f3ed !important}` but
   that doesn’t get it done either (assuming I got the code right).
 * I still think there is a class associated with each category and sub-category
   that I can use. Can anyone help with this?

 * Since the order of my categories is likely to change in the future, I would prefer
   to not specify by using a ‘first-child’ selector to accomplish the color change,
   but rather specify a class for the jewelry categories. This was somewhat addressed
   in [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-background-of-div-class-using-product-category-ids/ ](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-background-of-div-class-using-product-category-ids/),
   but there just wasn’t quite enough information for me to figure out what the 
   classes would be for the various product categories.
    I attempted to glean it
   from [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-shortcodes/)
   but still unsuccessful. Any further ideas?

 * I think I got it now by adding img as the final selector and it seems to currently
   be working. Thanks Gabriel!
 *     ```
       /* Change bg color of the first product category -Jewelry- */
        ul.products li:first-child img{
           background: #f5f3ed !important;
       }
   
       /* Change bg color of the Jewelry sub cat */
       .term-jewelry li.product-category img{
           background: #f5f3ed !important;
       }
       ```

 * Thanks Gabriel but using the li selector causes the background color to extend
   all the way down below the ‘add to cart’ button. I tried changing the li to the
   img selector but it didn’t work. I’m pretty sure there is a class that woocommerce
   creates and uses that identifies the categories and subcats (like the product_cat-
   jewelry class) but I don’t know how to find it.

 * I have tried to combine the arrays with no success. I must be working in the 
   wrong area. I have been trying by altering the mctagmap_functions.php, “get_terms”
   statement right after the comment “===== set up what to get (tags, categories,
   etc…) =====”. No matter what I seem to do here, it breaks it complete, resulting
   in a completely blank page. Please give me instructions or point me in the right
   direction on how to combine the post_tag and product_tag. I can get either one
   to work by themselves by using taxonomy= in the shortcode.
