Am I able to see this page live on the Internet?

From what I can see, you have made some changes to the results.php file. Can you paste the contents of the file here inside code tags?

There were a couple of errors in that, so I have re-coded it (I am not sure about the do_shortcode bit, but I have left that as is):

global $searchandfilter;
$sf_current_query = $searchandfilter->get(3552)->current_query();
if ((!$sf_current_query->is_filtered())&&($sf_current_query->get_search_term()=="")) {
		echo "make your selection";
} else {
	if ( $query->have_posts() )
{
	echo '<div class="row">';
	while ($query->have_posts())
	{
		$query->the_post();
		?>
			<div class="col-md-3 popmake-<?php the_ID();?>" data-do-default="" style="cursor: pointer;">
				<h3 style="text-align: center;"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
				<p style="text-align: center;"><?php do_shortcode(the_excerpt()); ?></p>
			</div>
	<?php
	echo '</div>';
	}
}
else
{
	echo 'No Results Found';
}
}
?>

That may make no difference, but give it a try.

Yes, you are right. Your corrections was one forgotten quote (that may be important) and changing the double qoutes at the echos to quotes. I think that’s not necessary at that point. But your correction does not solve the Problem.
Well, the do_shortcode was a test, that also does not solve the problem.

Something is obviously odd with the way the divi does this. It is the line using the_exceprt() that is the issue. Read these two WP Codex pages:

https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_excerpt
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/the_excerpt/

and you will see that shortcodes should actually be removed

Does it look any different if you replace

<p style="text-align: center;"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>

with

<p style="text-align: center;"><?php echo get_the_excerpt(); ?></p>

You are right! This is very strange! Even if i use (get_)the_content() the result is always the same. 🙁

In Divi, what element type is the results shortcode in (in the layout)?
