Sounds like a possible javascript conflict with another plugin – not being able to use the colorpickers is a dead giveaway. How we normally troubleshoot this for customers is to login to their admin panel so we can use a tool like Firebug to see the javascript error.

Unfortunately you need to write a small bit of code. Switch to your HTML view and wrap the button shortcode like this:

<div align="center">
[shortcode]
</div>

James1985 – It looks like the buttons are wrapping because the table column it’s in isn’t wide enough. Try increasing the width of that column, or perhaps decreasing the font size a bit.

James1985 – We’ve never seen that, and a simple space shouldn’t matter. Can you post the URL of where the button is used?

One of the things we’re looking to add to the plugin is an option to add !important to the button styles, which should help avoid this issue. We’re still testing things out, but you can expect that option to appear in an upcoming release.

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?

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?

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"]') ?>

Thanks for the suggestion, it’s likely a button width (and height) option will appear in a future release. FWIW, the Pro version does have those options, mainly because the output of the Pro version is slightly different from the output of the free version (because of having to account for the icon and second line of text).

Sounds like you’re running an earlier version. Make sure you have the latest and then deactivate and re-activate the plugin.

Can you post a link to a screenshot of what you’re seeing? We’ve tested in IE9, Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Safari and the colorpickers work as expected.

Yes, each experiment can be paused. However, it can’t then redirect to a new URL, so you’d have to use something else for that.

Not currently, no. We’re exploring options for being able to add scripts to the buttons, but we’re not there yet.

If this works for everyone, if you don’t mind, please login and vote that it works and isn’t broken. We’d like to keep our “it’s broken” count to a minimum. Preferably zero ?? Thanks!

No problem, glad it’s an easy fix.
