    Hi,

    thanks for your question, and sorry for the trouble.

    The cause for this are invisible extra characters, presumably places in the words that allow hyphenation.
    So, the text

    Van het Arche-o-lo-gie-de-pot gemeen-te Gorin-chem

    actually looks like this

    Van het Arche--o--lo--gie--de--pot gemeen--te Gorin--chem

    You simply can’t see those special - even though they are there as invisible characters. And as they are extra characters, they cause the string comparison to fail.

    So, the question is: Where do these extra characters come from? Did you add them manually somehwere? Are you using a plugin for that maybe? Or is your theme adding them?

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Hi Tobias

    Great you found these extra characters. I would never expected these! I’m working with the wp-Typography plugin. I just had to exclude everything between the Tablepress tags from hyphenation in the settings. Now it’s all working ??

    Thank you so much!

    Kind regards
    Martin

    Hi Martin,

    ah, great! Good to hear that you found that plugin with the info from my analysis! And even better that it has an option to exclude content!

    Best wishes,
    Tobias

    P.S.: In case you haven’t, please rate TablePress here in the plugin directory. Thanks!
