Description

SyntaxHighlighter Evolved v3.7.0 does not work with the Divi theme in WordPress anymore. The shortcodes show up in the page and syntax is not highlighted. Downgrading back to v.3.6.2 fixes the issue.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the shortcode and syntax-highlighting failure with SyntaxHighlighter Evolved v3.7.0 and the Divi theme, then compare the same page with v3.6.2. Trace the plugin's shortcode and highlighting entry points to identify the compatibility break. Done means shortcodes no longer appear as raw text and syntax highlighting works with Divi.
