The library features more than 6,000 buttons. It is the largest WordPress button library in the known universe.
100
101 [Wordpress button sets](https://maxbuttons.com/product-category/button-packs/?utm_source=reposets&utm_medium=mbrepo&utm_content=button_pack&utm_campaign=reposets) make designers and developers much more productive.
102
103 = Free Icons =
104
105 You can use free icons when you create your buttons with MaxButtons Pro so we’ve built one of the largest libraries to inspire you and make your buttons really stand out.
106
107 = Button Shortcode =
108
109 1. Click the MaxButtons page from the admin menu.
110 1. Click the Add New button.
111 1. Create and customize your button using the button editor.
112 1. Fill out and select the options needed to build your button.
113 1. Once you're ready, click Save.
114 1. A [button shortcode](http://maxbuttons.com/button-shortcode/?utm_source=reposhort&utm_medium=mbrepo&utm_content=reposhort&utm_campaign=reposhort) will be generated (ex: [maxbutton id="17"] or [maxbutton name="My Button Name"]).
115 1. Use the shortcode anywhere in your content and the button will appear.
116
117 You can also pass the button text and URL as parameters in the [button shortcode](http://maxbuttons.com/button-shortcode/?utm_source=reposhort2&utm_medium=mbrepo&utm_content=reposhort2&utm_campaign=reposhort2), giving you even greater flexibility. For example, if you want to create a set of buttons that look exactly the same, except for the text and URL, you could do something like this:
118
119 [maxbutton id="17" text="Search Google" url="http://google.com"]
120
121 [maxbutton name="MaxButtons Button Name" text="Search Yahoo" url="http://yahoo.com"]
122
123 Another parameter you can give the shortcode is window, which tells the button whether or not to open the URL in a new window (by default the button opens the URL in the current window). To do so you always give the window parameter the value "new", shown below. Anything else will open the button URL in the current window.
124
125 [maxbutton id="17" window="new"]
126
127 You can also use the nofollow parameter, which will add a rel="nofollow" attribute to the button when set to true, as shown below (the default is false):
128
129 [maxbutton id="17" nofollow="true"]
130
131 NOTE: Passing parameters to the shortcode overrides those settings saved as part of the button.

168
169 == Frequently Asked Questions ==
170
171 = Do I have to copy a button if I want to have a different text or link? =
172
173 No. The shortcode enables you to change various items on the button including the text and link. It's better to create a single button and reuse it.
174
175 To change text and link :
176 [maxbutton id="1" text="yourtext" url="http://yoururl"]
177
178 If you only want to change one of the two, just leave the not needed option out.
179
180 All possible options:
181
182 [maxbutton id="1" text="yourtext" url="http://yoururl" window="new" nofollow="true"]
183
184 You should *never* copy buttons if you only have a different line of text and / or link on any button.
185
186 = How do I use the shortcode in a sidebar/widget? =
187
188 Simply add the button shortcode to your widget (ex: [maxbutton id="17"] or [maxbutton name="MaxButtons Button Name"]). If the styling is missing on the widget, try to check the 'use important' checkbox under 'advanced' settings.
189
190 = How can I add the shortcode to my post/page template? =
191
192 Simply add this code snippet to any of your theme template files:
193 `<?php echo do_shortcode('[maxbutton id="17"]'); ?>`
194
195 = Can't see styling on the frontpage =
196
197 Sometimes the button styling doesn't load on the frontpage. There are usually two major reasons:
198
199 * Theme doesn't have proper footer, check if wp_footer() is called in the theme
200 * Using MaxButtons with sliders, dynamic page loaders (such a parallax and one-page themes ) or caching mechanisms.
201 other
202 First ensure you have cleared all your caches. Then you can try to add the following to your shortcode: [maxbutton id=1 style="inline"] ( replace the ID with the number of your button ).
203
204
205 = TablePress and MaxButtons =
206
207 TablePress uses a caching mechanism which prevents the MaxButtons style design from functioning. To solve this problem, simply add the caching option to the shortcode like this: `[table id=123 cache_table_output=false]` . See this [support topic on TablePress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/maxbuttons-css-stopped-working-in-tablepress?replies=6).
208
209 A solution which will keep the cache enabled is to use this in your shortcode: [maxbutton id=1 style="inline"] . Flush the TablePress cache after adding this.
210
211 = Part of my button is cutoff, how do I fix that? =
212
213 Try enabling the container and setting its margin options. You could also fix this manually by surrounding your button shortcode with a div element with margins. For example:
214
215 `<div style="margin: 10px 10px 10px 10px;">
216 <?php echo do_shortcode('[maxbutton id="17"]'); ?>
217 <?php echo do_shortcode('[maxbutton name="MaxButtons Button Name"]'); ?>
218 </div>`
219
220 Then adjust the margin values as needed (the order is: top, right, bottom, left).
221
222 = How do I center the button on a page? =
223
224 Enable the "Wrap with Center Div" option in the Container settings.
225
226 = How do I align multiple buttons next to each other? =
227
228 Enable the container option and set the alignment property to either "display: inline-block" or "float: left". You might also want to add some margin values to put some spacing between your buttons. If that doesn't work, try using a simple HTML table:
229
230 `<table>
231 <tr>
232 <td>[maxbutton id="1"]</td>
233 <td>[maxbutton id="2"]</td>
234 <td>[maxbutton id="3"]</td>
235 </tr>
236 </table>`
237
238 = How do I display a MaxButton in a WordPress menu? =
239
240 By default WordPress can't display shortcodes in a menu. You can use this [plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/shortcode-in-menus/) to allow shortcodes in a menu. Just copy the MaxButton shortcode in the menu after installing
241
242 = How do I display a MaxButton in a slider? =
243
244 This depends on the slider plugin you are using. Most of the well-known ones are allowing the use of shortcodes within the slides. To find out if your plugin can handle that, please ask the slider vendor.
245
246 = Non-Latin language users =
247
248 The plugin works with users of non-lating languages with a few exceptions. First, the character set of the Database Table should be in UTF-8. If you see '????' characters in the plugin, go to Settings -> Advanced. There is a button to set the tabel to UTF-8
249
250 Secondly, please use latin only characters for button name ( Basic settings) and extra classes ( Advanced settings ). Not doing so might prevent the styling output from working correctly.
