 * Hello guys,
 * I can see the button in wp-admin, seems to work great. However, I can’t make 
   the button appear in frontend. I tested with Gravity forms, Formidable pro and
   frontier posts.
 * It seems it may be something missing in the code to allow plugins (those ones
   letting you submit posts in frontend) to show the button?
 * I tested with both the default editor and TinyMCE advanced (again, the button
   seems to be ok in backend, but can’t make it appear in any frontend plugin to
   edit posts).
 * All the other buttons work, the only one missing is the z-url preview.
 * Cheers
    Ramiro.

 * I guess there’s some condition in the code to show the button in wp-admin and
   not outside that. I tried to check the is_admin in index.php, but I’m not really
   sure what to change.
 * Maybe I’m lucky and there’s a condition I can change or remove to allow the button
   show outside wp-admin.

 * I don’t use those plugins, but try changing the “Button Location” setting to “
   Media Button Row” as this has less conditioning on it.

 * Hello Stuart,
 * maybe my question could be, is there any place in the code that makes the button
   appear in wp-admin but not outside of it?

 * Hi,
 * The reason I suggested trying the “media button” version is because the tinymce
   version is added via:
 * `add_action( 'admin_head', 'at_zurlpreview_add_tinymce' );`
 * So is likely admin only. The media button is a different mechanism. So, if it
   works for you in media button mode, it is likely this ‘admin_head’ action that
   is preventing the tinymce version working in your situation.

 * Thanks Stuart,
 * that didn’t solve the problem. I will try to find the solution and I will post
   it here if I find it.

 * That’s strange, other ticket(s) suggested that it was appearing in all editor
   instances with “media button no limits” setting.
 * I’ll try and find a plugin with front-end forms that I can safely add to my site
   to test this.
