Button showing up twice in post preview

That’s hard to say without any option to see the page. Make sure the shortcode is there once, not twice. And see that any caching has been refreshed.

Thanks, Bas. I double-checked that the shortcode is only in there once. And here is a link to my preview page:

Could it be because I copied an existing button to make this one rather than starting fresh? I mean, I should be able to do that, but…

Problem is that non-published pages are not viewable for other people, so I can’t see what’s on that page.

To answer the question, when you copy a button ( only needed when you want to change the styling ) , it generates a new unique number you use for the shortcode.

Every [maxbutton id=x] statement will generate a button if that button exists.

Yes – I’ve got that…my shortcode generated a new button [maxbutton id=2].

But, the new button I generated is showing up twice in my post. Here is the coding for the end of my post. What am I doing wrong?

[maxbutton id=”2″]
[maxbutton name=”Patreon Support”]

Aha. Adding a button by name *is* the same thing as using the ID.

The second method could be useful if you want to organize your buttons around names ( which can be changed, numbers can’t ).

So remove either of them, and you are left with one. Every shortcode that says ‘maxbutton’ will try to add a button.

Aha – I see! That worked – thank you so much for the clarification!

Good to hear!

Hi,
I am using the plugin- MaxButtons. When I edit the buttons and when copy-paste the shortcode, there are two buttons displaying. I want only one button to be displayed.
Please help me in this.

Copy only one of the two shortcodes in the example, they do the same.

Thanks! It worked! I am using the buttons in the product category description part. When used, on the product category page, it is displaying. But, on the product categories page, i.e where I have displayed the product categories, under each product category, the description part (buttons) is coming. I want to hide this.
Please let me know.

What’s the description part of a button? Also please give a link.

Sorry, my website is under maintenanace. Can’t send any link.
Let me explain.
See, I created buttons and then copied the shortcode in the PRODUCT CATEGORY DESCRIPTION.. Now, I created one more page for displaying PRODUCT CATEGORIES using woocommerce shortcode. When displayed, the PRODUCT CATEGORY DESCRIPTION is also coming under the product category. (i.e the buttons are displayed under product category).
I want to hide that.

That’s something you have to figure out with your theme / woocommerce / whatever is loading over there.

Ok thanks.
