Hi, guys!
My name is Robert from themeisle.com and in
this video, I will show you how to add buttons
in WordPress using the Maxbuttons WordPress
plugin.
MaxButtons lets you add buttons in WordPress
using shortcodes.
The button creation process can be a little
time consuming because it’s a separate interface,
but it enables you to create some truly beautiful
and unique buttons.
To create WordPress buttons with this plugin,
you just need to install it.
Then, you can create a button by clicking
on the MaxButtons link in your dashboard sidebar.
Unfortunately, you can’t add buttons directly
in the WordPress Editor, though the plugin
does make it easy to insert buttons you’ve
already created.
Once you’re on the MaxButtons page, you
just need to click the Add New button.
You’ll see a ton of options.
But the most important settings are in the
first box.
Many of the other options are just there in
case you want extra control over how your
button looks.
Here’s what you need to enter in the first
box:
Button Name, that your visitors will never
see.
It’s just to help you remember.
URL and this is the link people will go to
when they click on your button.
Text.
These are the words that will actually appear
on your button.
You can also change fonts and font colors
if you’d like.
As you make all of these changes, you’ll
see a real-time preview of your button on
the right of your screen.
Further down the page, you can also change
your button’s background, add a border,
and more.
Because you can preview your button in real
time, it’s easy to play around with these
settings and instantly see how they affect
your button.
Once you’re happy with your button, click
the Save button at the top of the page.
Then, to add your button in the WordPress
Editor, you just need to click on the Add
Button near media.
Now, click on the button you want to insert.
You won’t see your button in the WordPress
Editor.
But when you publish your post, your button
will be there!
There’s just one thing to consider if you’re
planning to use MaxButtons.
Because this plugin relies on shortcodes,
if you ever deactivate it, all of your buttons
will disappear.
If you don’t like the idea of that happening,
you might want to use a non-shortcode button
builder plugin.
And for that, I recommend another plugin I
am talking about in suggested video or you
can check for it in the description below.
