Add Class to Shortcode

    Is it possible to add a class to the shortcode? I want to style the link created by the shortcode as a button, to match the other buttons on my website. Or is the only way of achieving this by editing the plugin files?

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hey Dan,
    and thanks for your question.

    Well… you could use the do_shortcode_tag filter for that. Are you familiar with PHP?

    Thanks Flo. I only have a beginner understanding of PHP but I’ll do some research to see if I can piece this filter together.

    I’m a little in over my head here. I’ve got this far:

    function append_class_to_gaoo( $output, $tag ) {
	if ( 'google_analytics_optout' !== $tag ) {
		return $output;
	}
	return $output . ' class="button-class"';
}
add_filter('do_shortcode_tag', 'append_class_to_gaoo', 10, 2);

    But it simply prints ‘class=”button-class”‘ after the <a> tag. I don’t suppose you could help me place it within the <a> tag?

    You’re welcome! šŸ˜‰

    And you’re almost there. I would suggest to use str_replace. Depending on the code that you use inside the shortcode, this would be one way to do it:

    return str_replace( '<a', '<a class="button-class"', $output );
