## Description
[MaxButtons](https://maxbuttons.com/?utm_source=repowp1&utm_medium=mbrepo&utm_content=mbr_maxbuttons&utm_campaign=mbr_maxbuttons)
is a powerful WordPress button, share button and social icon plugin. Create great
looking CSS3 WordPress buttons in a minute. Easy to understand. Our button editor
with live preview makes it a snap to generate awesome responsive buttons in very
little time. The social share buttons and social icon features allow you to add
social options to your website in minutes.
MaxButtons [WordPress button plugin](https://www.maxbuttons.com/#CSS3/?utm_source=repowbp&utm_medium=mbrepo&utm_content=wordpress_button_plugin&utm_campaign=repowbp)
has been going strong for over 15 years and was the first button plugin for WordPress.
MaxButtons has earned over 1000 5-star reviews and over 3.5 million downloads. Here
are couple of our favorites:
> “The best plugin of its kind”
> “This plugin makes creating buttons sooooo easy.”
> Why aren’t all plugins like this?!?
> MaxButtons easily solved my problem with
> lots of options when creating the button and a live view of what it was going
> to look like. It would have done the job for me there and then but being able
> to adjust the text AND link with shortcodes on my page made modifications a breeze.–
> by discgosforth
> “Easy, clear, and robust. I’m a programmer and can write CSS till the cows come
> home, but why? Just get it, install it and use it. Then, when you’re impressed,
> buy the pro version”
Max Foundry also makes the WordPress Gallery plugin [MaxGalleria](https://maxgalleria.com)

library in existence. The library features more than 6,000 buttons. It is the largest
WordPress button library in the known universe.
[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.
#### Free Icons
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.
#### Button Shortcode
1. Click the MaxButtons page from the admin menu.
2. Click the Add New button.
3. Create and customize your button using the button editor.
4. Fill out and select the options needed to build your button.
5. Once you’re ready, click Save.
6. 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”]).
7. Use the shortcode anywhere in your content and the button will appear.
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:
[maxbutton id=”17″ text=”Search Google” url=”http://google.com”]
[maxbutton name=”MaxButtons Button Name” text=”Search Yahoo” url=”http://yahoo.com”]
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.
[maxbutton id=”17″ window=”new”]
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):
[maxbutton id=”17″ nofollow=”true”]
NOTE: Passing parameters to the shortcode overrides those settings saved as part
of the button.
#### Support
We work hard to give timely support during the week. And we give support when we’re
on during the weekend.

## FAQ
### Do I have to copy a button if I want to have a different text or link?
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.
To change text and link :
[maxbutton id=”1″ text=”yourtext” url=”http://yoururl”]
If you only want to change one of the two, just leave the not needed option out.
Most often used options:
[maxbutton id=”1″ text=”yourtext” url=”http://yoururl” window=”new” nofollow=”true”]
You should _never_ copy buttons if you only have a different line of text and /
or link on any button. You can use the ‘add button’ dialog from your posts and pages
to easily use this options
### How do I use the shortcode in a sidebar/widget?
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.
### How can I add the shortcode to my post/page template?
You can use the WordPress do_shortcode function for this. Use the button name instead
of ID for clearer code and easier replacement.
### Can’t see styling on the frontpage
Sometimes the button styling doesn’t load on the frontpage. There are usually two
major reasons:
* Theme doesn’t have proper footer, check if wp_footer() is called in the theme
* Using MaxButtons with sliders, dynamic page loaders (such a parallax and one-
page themes ) or caching mechanisms.
* Some Caching plugins will remove styles. Either whitelist .maxbutton class or
use the file loader in MaxButtons PRO settings
* If loading dynamically, you can output the style next to the button using [maxbuttons
id=x ‘style=inline’] in the shortcode
### TablePress and MaxButtons
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).
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.
Use this only if you encounter issues. Most of the time MaxButtons works without
any need for modifications.
### Part of my button is cutoff, how do I fix that?
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:
```
```
Then adjust the margin values as needed (the order is: top, right, bottom, left).
### How do I center the button on a page?
Enable the “Wrap with Center Div” option in the Container settings.
### How do I align multiple buttons next to each other?
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.
```
| [maxbutton id="1"] |
[maxbutton id="2"] |
[maxbutton id="3"] |
```
* A lot of modern page builders have solution for positioning content, like grids.
You can leverage those for better results.
* You can use [TablePress](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tablepress/) to create
tables in WordPress.
### How do I display a MaxButton in a WordPress menu?
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
### How do I display a MaxButton in Excerpts / Post listing
By default WordPress only displays plain text in Post Excerpts. If you want to show
a button there, you can add this snippet to your functions.php
```
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'shortcode_unautop');
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'do_shortcode');
```
Alternatively there are many plugins for customizing the excerpt that can do this
for you and give control over other parts of the excerpt as well.
### How do I display a MaxButton in a slider?
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.
### I use Autoptimize with MaxButtons
Autoptimize is supported and should work fine in most cases. However, if you see
weird results, try to load the pageby adding ?ao_noptimize=1 to the URL. If the
buttons load normally then the issue is with Autoptimize. You can enter an exclusion
for .maxbutton in the CSS exclusions.
### Non-Latin language users
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
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.
### How do I upgrade the plugin?
Upgrading to the PRO version is quite simple. Obtain a license key via our [site](https://maxbuttons.com).
You can enter the license code within the free version on the ‘Upgrade to PRO’ page.
After entering the license key, the PRO version will automatically download and
install. You are good to go!

### [This is genius it’s totally intuitive…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/this-is-genius-its-totally-intuitive/)
[mjoe67886](https://profiles.wordpress.org/mjoe67886/) September 3, 2024
This is the best implementation of adding buttons that I could imagine. Say I had
to figure out was to center the buttons it would be wise to create a 3 column on
the page and add them to the middle column. Thank you very much for this plugin!!
### [Awesome customization for beginners](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/awesome-customization-for-beginners/)
[01labs](https://profiles.wordpress.org/01labs/) July 15, 2024
I’d say my html skill level is around a 4. I’m more of a front end guy. So adding
buttons in the back end had me cringing. I was trying to add a button in an accordion
content window so I couldn’t drag/drop a button in there. MaxButtons gave me the
control to customize my button and drop in a shortcode to the page. Super stoked
that I found this plugin!
### [Useful!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/useful-888/)
[Scribelle](https://profiles.wordpress.org/scribelle/) January 27, 2022
Thank you for this very useful “little” plugin. Not only it works well, but it’s
still working fine under WordPress 5.9 too!
### [I love your plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-love-your-plugin-7/)
[NG Baze](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ngbaze/) December 2, 2021
