Title: Add button color Last modified: March 7, 2019 --- # Add button color * Resolved [lwolf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lwolf/) * (@lwolf) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/) * I am using this plugin and it is very good. However, I need to have a red button, but there is currently no red button in the code. I changed the colors in the code in the file “sdm_wp_styles.css” before the last update and got my red buttons, but now they are white with red hover text. * .sdm_download.red{ background: #d22026; filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft. gradient(startColorstr=’#d22026′, endColorstr=’#d22026′); /* IE */ background:- webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#d22026), to(#d22026)); /* WebKit */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #e8686c, #d22026); border-color:# d22026 #d22026 #d22026; color: #ffffff; text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #ec7e82; -webkit- box-shadow: 0 1px 1px #d3d3d3, inset 0 1px 0 #e49093; -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px #d3d3d3, inset 0 1px 0 #e49093; box-shadow: 0 1px 1px #d3d3d3, inset 0 1px 0 #e49093; } * .sdm_download.red:hover{ background: #fa3d43 color: #18aeb4; filter: progid: DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient(startColorstr=’#18aeb4′, endColorstr=’#18aeb4′);/* IE */ background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#d22026), to(#d22026)); /* WebKit */ background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #b8d872, #e13339); border-color: #c81e23 #d11f25 #d52026; text-shadow: 0 1px 0 #ed878b; -webkit- box-shadow: 0 1px 1px #d5d5d5, inset 0 1px 0 #d7e9a4; -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 1px #d5d5d5, inset 0 1px 0 #d7e9a4; box-shadow: 0 1px 1px #d5d5d5, inset 0 1px 0 #d7e9a4; } * An example short code is: [sdm_download id=”15672″ fancy=”3″ new_window=”1″ color=”red”  button_text=”Download Brochure”] The fancy=3 used to produce a simple rectangular button with rounded corners that was red, but now is white background with simple black text. * I am not an experienced developer so I am not sure how to get my buttons to be red again. The Download Button color is set to Red in the plugin Settings. * Any help is appreciated. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fadd-button-color%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Contributor [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/#post-11288729) * Hi, please check the following [documentation](https://simple-download-monitor.com/css-tweaks-for-the-simple-download-monitor-plugin/).

This is a great solution. It worked well. I’m not sure how, but I’m guessing I can no longer choose the button color from the user interface. * Plugin Contributor [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/#post-11292082) * Hi, did my solution helped you?

It was working great. Now after several updates on my website, on the front end the short code no longer creates a button, nor does it display the text I wrote in it. Instead you only see underlined text that says “View Details”. The text in the short code says “Download Brochure”. * The short code has not changed, but does not display what it is supposed to. * Can someone help with this issue? * Thread Starter [lwolf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lwolf/) * (@lwolf) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/#post-11566490) * Here is what my code looks like inside the WordPress Custom CSS plugin: * .sdm_download{ background: #d22026; background-color: #d22026; border-color: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; color: white !important; text-shadow: none !important; } .sdm_download:hover{ background: #d22026 background-color:# d22026; color: #3CFAF4; border-color: none !important; text-shadow: none !important; box-shadow: none !important; } * Plugin Contributor [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/#post-11566702) * Hi, do you know what has been updated in your site? It is one of these updates that has caused your issue. * Kind regards * Thread Starter [lwolf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lwolf/) * (@lwolf) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/#post-11566786) * Yes, I updated everything (all needed plugins, site theme, WP Bakery Page Builder, WordPress). The site is working perfectly with all these updates. When I update the Simple Download Monitor, I get the button loss. * I believe it could be related to the button code update that was done in the last update of the plugin. I have coded Fancy=3 for my little simple button with text that I change for different places in the site. It looks like SDM has changed something with that code. * Also, when you click the “View Details” link it takes you to another page with a button with the default “Download Now!” text that will download the item. I had it configured to simply do the download (open the document for a PDF or JPEG). * Plugin Contributor [mbrsolution](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mbrsolution/) * (@mbrsolution) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/#post-11567384) * Hi, can you share the URL to the page in question. * Thank you * Thread Starter [lwolf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lwolf/) * (@lwolf) * [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/#post-11569362) * The website is a password-protected portal, however, I can show you screen shots.

In order to see the button you need to use either fancy=”0″, fancy=”1″ or fancy=”2″. * Kind regards Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 18 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/page/2/?output_format=md) The topic ‘Add button color’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/simple-download-monitor/assets/icon-128x128.png?rev=973803) * [Simple Download Monitor](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-download-monitor/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-download-monitor/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-download-monitor/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-download-monitor/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-download-monitor/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/simple-download-monitor/reviews/) * 18 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [lwolf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lwolf/) * Last activity: [6 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-button-color/page/2/#post-11588966) * Status: resolved
