All you have to do is copy the shortcode for the button and put it into the content of your homepage. So when you edit your homepage in WordPress, copy the button shortcode into the place where you want the button to show up.
I realize this is what I have to do but I don’t even know which line contains my homepage for editing. I don’t want to screw things up. What wording do I look for in style.css that tells me that is my homepage? I guess that leads to another question. I inherited these pages which were already set up for me. For the life of me I cannot find the page “home” to edit. On the navigation menu it shows up but not in the editing section. Maybe I don’t understand where to find it.
Oh I see, sorry. You don’t have to edit the style.css file at all. The button shortcode goes into the content of the page/post itself (using the text editor). If you’re having trouble finding out which one is the actual homepage of your site, it would be best to check with the theme author as they’ll be able to tell you.
Ok. Well let me communicate better. I would like the DONATE button in a prominent area of the front page so it can be clicked and the person can be sent to the donor page. If I put it in as a post or make it a page then it won’t be where I want it. I have a donor page already but I have seen other websites where the DONATE button is static on the homepage. Does that make sense? I guess I would want it in the sidebar on top.
Yes, that makes sense, so it sounds like you need to edit the template file for the homepage, which you would still have to contact the theme author to do it. That’s not really something we can help out with.
