Create a button from shortcode

Hi,

Unfortunately for the Elementor Pro you need to use the “Shortcode” or the “Content” block. The “Link” object is not yet supported.

Can you try please to place the shortcode there and see if it will work?

We remain at your service.

Ironically the Shortcode block does not work but the Text block with shortcode placed as text does work. However it displays the word Download only. I was hoping to have a button not just a link. Any suggestions.

It’s possible to set custom text or <i> icon by changing “Button Title” under E2Pdf Template: https://prnt.sc/fwRZnJWZqfyf

Or via “button_title” attribute:

[e2pdf-download id="1" name="name" inline="true" button_title="Custom Title"]

You can also add some custom “class” via the “class” attribute:

[e2pdf-download id="1" name="name" inline="true" class="custom_class"]

Or another case, you can create custom button via “HTML” as, keep attention on “quotes” please:

<a class="button" href="[e2pdf-download id=1  name='name' inline=true output=url esc_url_raw=true]" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Custom Text or Icon</a>

I am still testing to make sure the plugin will do what I need prior to purchasing and I am running into another issue that I hope you can help with.

I am using ACF Pro and one of my fields is a date. When I map the field it returns the date as YYYYMMDD I have the format in ACF and WordPress to be May 3, 2023. How do I correct this?

[e2pdf-wp key=”event_date” meta=”true”]

You can try to use native ACF shortcode as:

[acf field="event_date" post_id="[id]"]

Or try to reformat the date with E2Pdf:

[e2pdf-format-date format="F j, Y"][e2pdf-wp key="event_date" meta="true"][/e2pdf-format-date]

If none of the solutions will work, let us know please exact example of the shortcode output.
