# Apparent shortcode bug

* Been having this error for a few months, up to the latest current version.
* I’m having an issue with one shortcode, which looks like:
[products limit=”6″
columns=”3″ orderby=”id” order=”DESC” visibility=”visible”]
* The problem I’m having is that it sometimes renders the li wrong, which messes
up the layout.
* 1. I’m importing new products through a plugin I’ve written myself, using “new
WC_Product()”. Everything works, most of the time but…
* 2. Every once in a blue moon something happens to a product. It looks the same
everywhere except when used in a shortcode. It then renders the `li` wrong, as
such:
* ```
0 out of 5
119,900kr
Läs mer
```
* instead of the correct:
* ```
Saab 9-3 Aero V6 2.8 Turbo 280hk XWD -08
0 out of 5
119,900kr
Läs mer
```
* 3. This is fixed by going into the product, and resaving it without changing
anything else.
* 4. The weird thing though is: If I do a database dump when it’s glitched, and
compare it to a database dump after I’ve resaved it, there are 0 differences.
* 5. My first thought was that it was some character/encoding issue somewhere which
was fixed by the resave, but no, none, nada, nothing.
* Any thoughts?

* Hi [@lars00](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lars00/)
* Try switching back to a default theme like Twenty Nineteen and disable all plugins
except for WooCommerce to see if this resolves the issue. If so, then re-enable
each one at a time until you find the one that’s causing the conflict.

* I just wanted to add that I solved it by hiding the wrong li with css. Nothing
else helped, but that works so I’ll just let this be as is.
