    I would like to have a maxbutton at the top of my page centered between my logo and the header image.
    my page is at wtgn.org

    Here is the code I have tried:

    Header php

    <php echo do_shortcode(‘[maxbutton id=”38″]’); ?>

    I located this under the line that reads:
    <title><?php wp_title( ‘|’, true, ‘right’ ); bloginfo( ‘name’ ); ?></title>

    CSS:

    logo {
    position: relative;
    }

    .maxbutton-38,{
    position: absolute !important;
    top: 0;
    }

    .maxbutton-38 {
    right: 0;
    }

    I know that I have to work on the location yet, but at this point just trying to get the button to show up.

    Thanks for your help

    So at this point it’s not showing up at all?

    Thanks so much for getting back with me.

    Unfortunately my button is not showing up at all. For now I am using a menu at the top of my page instead of the button, but this is not what is desired. I would like to be able to display a button between my logo on the left and the header image on the right.

    Make sure you’ve place it below the </head> in your code.

    <title>

    Is for header data and doesn’t actually show on your page. Look for something like:

    <div id="header">

    I did have it before </head>
    I have moved it after the <div id=”header”>
    but it still does not work, any other ideas?

    Can you post the full surrounding code so I can give a better answer of where exactly to place the code?

    Here is the first part of the Header.php

    <!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php language_attributes(); ?>>
	<head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11">
		<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="<?php bloginfo('html_type'); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo('charset'); ?>" />
		<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
		<?php do_action('favicon') ?>

		<title><?php wp_title( '|', true, 'right' ); bloginfo( 'name' ); ?></title>

		<?php do_action( 'bp_head' ) ?>
		<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>" type="text/css" media="screen" />
		<link rel="pingback" href="<?php bloginfo('pingback_url'); ?>" />

		<?php wp_head(); ?>
	</head>

	<body <?php body_class() ?> id="cc">
 <div id="outerrim">

 	<?php do_action( 'bp_before_header' ) ?>

	<div id="header">	

<php echo do_shortcode('[maxbutton id="38"]'); ?>

    	<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'container_class' => 'menu menu-top', 'theme_location' => 'menu_top','container' => 'div', 'fallback_cb' => false ) ); ?>
        <div class="row-fluid header-widgets">
            <div class="span12">
                <?php if( ! dynamic_sidebar( 'headerfullwidth' )) :?>
                <?php endif; ?>
            </div>

    You’re missing the first ? in the php call. You have:

    <php echo do_shortcode('[maxbutton id="38"]'); ?>

    but should have:

    <?php echo do_shortcode('[maxbutton id="38"]'); ?>

    Easy enough to miss, hopefully that resolves the issue of not being able to see it.

    I am quite confused as to what is going on. We fixed the original problem, the button is right where I want it. Now the problem is, I want to change the link for the button and I am not able to make any changes. When I change the url it is linked to and then hit save it reverts back to what it was originally. So I tried the copy option, this does not copy the button. So I tried creating a new button and it wont save. Any ideas?

    I deactivated the plugin and reactivated it – now it works! PTL!

    Hi, I am new at WordPress and tried every possible thing that WordPress support has given me.
    I want to add a button on the right side in my header.
    If someone knows where exactly to place it, please help!?

    This is my page: http://focusedfitness.co.za/
    and the button is either: [button size=”normal” type=”warning” value=”Sign up for our services” href=”http://focusedfitness.co.za/sign-up-for-our-services-2/”%5D
    or: [maxbutton id=”1″]

    I tried placing it under my theme options in “Ads”
    aswell as trying to copy it into every possible spot in my Editor. I also tried adding it everywhere like this: <?php echo do_shortcode(‘[maxbutton id=”1″]’); ?>

    I would appreciate any help or tips regarding this.
    Thanks in advance!!!
