I’ve done that, but like I said, for some reason it does not work, and my php skills are at a minimum, so I can’t even properly troubleshoot where it is going wrong.

here is my functions.php from pastebin. If someone can take a look at it and point out where to properly input the code, it would be MUCH appreciated. I tired to input it right below the <?php at the top, but nothing happened when Iput the shortcode in the text widget (the button “skeleton” showed up and could link to the destination/contact page, but most of it’s styling was stripped).

Again, thanks. Your button works beautifully otherwise. I think there is just some weird conflict with my theme and adding shortcode to text widgets…

Will do. Just so I have a full understanding of the options available- is it possible to put the maxbutton in a text widget in the sidebar? I tried the approach listed above to no avail. Doing it within a text widget would just afford me less editing/headaches since the widget already adheres to my style sheet… The php method as done above also pushes my footer way down when I style the test buttons near the bottom of the sidebar to mirror the botton of the main content. Im sure that I am missing something due to my inexperience with editing the php, but I would really like to be able to put the button in a text widget in the meantime…

Thanks again,

Scott

Alright- got it to reposition to where I want it below my text widget, but I had to increase the margin-top to 700px. This doesnt seem very elegant, right? Or is that just how php coding rolls?

If I wanted to input another button, would I just code it the same way, but make it’s top margin something like 800?

Scott

Hmm, your code above repositioned the button horizontally but not vertically for some reason. It still clips the bottom border of the text widget above it. I inputed your code to the very bottom of my sidebar.php.

Any thoughts? Ill continue to mess with it.

Thanks, I am off to try that. Not very versed in php coding -and new to css editing altogether- so I was not too sure that I could style it like that.

Will let you know if that solves the problem.

I have tried the php solution and it shows the button but I have run into another obstacle- this method shows the button but it ignores the text widget/static image I have placed in the sidebar as well. The button now appears at the very top of the sidebar, behind the text widget/image and overlaps the two. I guess it ignores the page’s css styling?

How can I input the php code so that I can make the button constrain to the area I want , IE in another text widget bellow the 1st text widget/static image I already have placed?

Thanks,

Scott
