[Plugin: MaxButtons: CSS3 Button Generator for WordPress] cant get new buttons to work

How did you add that shortcode to the page? Did you add it as part of the content using the text editor? Or is it in a page template?

If you added it as content in the text editor, the only thing I can think of as to why it didn’t render the button is if the button id wasn’t found.

If the shortcode is part of a page template, did you call it correctly with do_shortcode, like this:

<?php echo do_shortcode('[maxbutton id="7"]') ?>

I am a WP novice, but I THINK I understand what you’re asking.

In my text editor, I have two tabs….one saying “visual” and one saying HTML. I’ve tried putting the short code for the button:[maxbutton id=”7″] just like this, as I did for the other 6 buttons I have. I tried it also in the HTML too. When you replied, I copied the entire code you gave from <to> and assumed it should go into the HTML tab, and still no change.

You should be able to add the shortcode as-is (i.e. [maxbutton id=”7″]) in either the Visual or HTML views of the WordPress text editor and it should pick it up just fine.

But just to ask the dumb question, do you have a button that exists with id = 7?

yes, I have an id=7 button created. I’ve tried both scenarios you have suggested with no luck.

I made a work-around. Not sure whats up with the button on that page, but thank you.

I’m not sure why the shortcode didn’t work either, I can’t think of a time where one didn’t.

What was the workaround you came up with?

I wrote click “here” to take the user to the page they wanted. Just not nearly as clear as a button, but it works.

Marking this as resolved.
