A couple suggestions…

    Hey pretty great plugin. You should include:
    https://www.tinymce.com/wiki.php/Plugin:nonbreaking

    or find a way to reopen the button editor after it’s already inserted.

    Whenever I create buttons for the visual editorI usually do something like this:

    <span class="button-holder">&nbsp;<a class="my-button">Button Text&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;</span>

    It’s very very ugly, but allows for additional words to be added after “Button Text” and before/after the entire button. Then you can filter out the entire span and the remaining space inside the button when it gets sent to the frontend…. or add white-space: nowrap so the button never spans across multiple methods.

    Both of my ways are pretty bad, but it’s nice being able to add to the button once it’s already inserted. I’m sure there are better ways that I’m unaware of.

    Anyway love the plugin regardless. Thanks.

    Well I take back my entire last comment… I just realized the double click that reopens the editor! Looks like you found the better way of doing it!

    Works perfectly.

    Hey thanks codecandid ?? I’m quite excited to see how people find using this plugin as its kindof a new way of adding buttons… but not many people are using (or testing) WP 3.9 so we’ll see I guess.

    By all means if you have any other suggestions let me know – this is only the first version and of course there could and should be many more options with the plugin over time.

    Feel free to be the first to rate the plugin and help get it noticed ??

    Amazing Plugin… Some questions/ideas?

    Any plans on integrating Font Awesome Icons?
    Sidebar widget to create buttons?

    Love the simplicity of this super little highly functional plugin – thank you!

    Hey thanks alharji

    Yup, adding more icons is certainly on the to do list – just about finding the right ones, with the right licenses that I can use to integrate ??

    Font Awesome icons look like a good addition, let me know if you know any more resources, but these look like a good start.

    Can you explain a bit more about the sidebar widget? Not sure I follow you.

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    DesignsAndCode – Thanks for the speedy responses…

    It would be cool if there was the ability to drag a widget to your sidebar if you needed a button and have the same functionality you have in the editor mode to create buttons for sidebars… hope this makes sense ??

    As far as icons go – dashicons is limited in it’s offerings while font awesome has over 400 (and growing)

    Ideally being able to add our own would be sweet too ??

    Thanks DesignsAndCode, you built something functional that came in just in time for me ??

    Ahhh I see what you mean ?? We’ll see about the sidebar stuff, its a good idea but there are other things that need working on in the plugin first such as the icons you mentioned.

    Yeah dashicons is limited and not really practical for everyone but they come out of the box with WP so was easy to get up and running with those.

    The FA icons look good, I just need come up with a nice UI for browsing 400+ icons in a little popup widget :S

    Thanks again for the feedback, I’ll be making a list of all suggestions, prioritising them and then knocking them off one by one hopefully ??

    By the way for people who love plugins like this:

    https://codecanyon.net/item/iconize-wordpress-plugin/6481628

    and

    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/advanced-wp-columns/

    and

    And if you use them with:

    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/preserved-html-editor-markup/

    and

    https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/tinymce-templates/

    Unfortunately iconize is premium only and lacks some of the great features of this plugin like the double click functionality, but Al Harji it works well for adding icons.

    DesingandCode! WOW,WOW,WOW!!!I’m moved and impressed – Thank you so much for taking the suggestion and adding the Font Awesome support in. I will definitely be making a donation ??

    CodeCandid, great suggestions/recommendations, I appreciate it and will definitely look into them.

    Everyday I’m reminded why I love the WP community and developers so much. What a generous bunch!

    I have a problem.
    When I created dashicons with the plugin it doesn’t work – links are broken. For example instead of Facebook (and of course URL https://www.facebook.com) I’ve got 404 and URL https://www.mysitename.com/www.facebook.com
    I tried another URL and such things happens all the times with different URLs ??

    Can you help me?

    Hey Oleksandr Piddubnyy

    If this happens all the time with different urls then it sounds like you have a problem with another plugin or you theme stripping out “https://&#8221; from you URLs, WordPress doesn’t do this, and this plugin does nothing to modify the url you put in, so there is something happening after to break your URLs…

    If you want any further help can you start a new thread so I can try to help you there?

    Thanks, but I’ve got it myself! I’ve typed URL without “https://&#8221; and that was my mistake ??
