 * Does anyone know how I can add some text before a button that is a link? I tried
   it with .custom-button:before{content:”my text”;}
    but it did not work.

 * Hey,
    How are you adding the button? And where are you adding it? Can you post
   a link?

 * It is added in the order-processing-email from woocommerce when the customer 
   has chosen paypal and it is a pay now button link. it is hooked in with
    add_action(‘
   woocommerce_email_before_order_table’, array( $this, ’email_pay_now_button’ ),
   0, 1 );and in the html it looks like
 *  [pay now](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-text-before-button/...?output_format=md)
 * and when I use
    .button.custom-button:before{content:”My text;”}
 * it does not work. You can probably add text by using the same hook but my knowledge
   in PHP is limited.

 * I don’t think doing this with css would be the best way. Can you tell me what
   file the email_pay_now_button is in woocommerce? I’m not seeing it?
