Title: Button gone after update!!! Last modified: August 24, 2016 --- # Button gone after update!!! * Resolved [nossfloda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nossfloda/) * (@nossfloda) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-gone-after-update/) * Shortcode in my pages is still there but the button is gone under Maxbuttons | Buttons. Created a new one and tried to add it in the page via the MB Add button. NO button in the list! Go back to see my button in Maxbuttons | Buttons, it’s gone. * KrA * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/maxbuttons/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/maxbuttons/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Author [maxfoundry](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxfoundry/) * (@maxfoundry) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-gone-after-update/#post-6174840) * Hi Kristian, * Sorry you are having troubles. Your buttons are still there. Please deactivate/ activate MaxButtons and let us know if that takes care of the problem. * Best, * Bob * Thread Starter [nossfloda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nossfloda/) * (@nossfloda) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-gone-after-update/#post-6174841) * That did the trick! Why did an update stop it from working? * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-gone-after-update/#post-6174857) * Hi Kristian, * We upgraded the plugin with a different way of storing the buttons to make it more flexible ( = us adding more features ). Unfortunately every few cases WordPress doesn’t run this activation script to make this update happen. Hence the manual de-activation / activation. * Thread Starter [nossfloda](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nossfloda/) * (@nossfloda) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-gone-after-update/#post-6174862) * OKI! * Plugin Author [maxfoundry](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxfoundry/) * (@maxfoundry) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-gone-after-update/#post-6175016) * Hey Kristian, * Glad we got you straightened out. Bas and I live for [ratings](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/maxbuttons#postform). Please add yours for MaxButtons and our support. * Thanks, * Bob and Bas from the Max Foundry Team Makers of [MaxButtons](http://maxbuttons.com) and MaxButton Pro plugins and MaxGalleria Gallery plugin * [WeHeartHart](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wehearthart/) * (@wehearthart) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-gone-after-update/#post-6175037) * I had a similar error. * The buttons still appear on the website where previously added, and they are still there in the plug in page. * But when I edit a post and press the “Add Button” button, no buttons appear for adding to my posts. * I have tried deactivating and reactivating but that hasn’t worked. * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-gone-after-update/#post-6175040) * Did you try the latest version? We changed the add button button interface quite recently. * Could you also describe what’s going wrong. When you click ‘add button’ does it show any window? If not it might be that some other plugin interfering. * For now you can add the buttons to a page by copying the shortcode listed on the button editor ( and in the overview ) of the plugin and paste it into your editor. * [lewistruth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lewistruth/) * (@lewistruth) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-gone-after-update/#post-6175045) * I’m in the boat too… * Using version 3.04.2. * Did deactivate/reactivate and it brought some, but not all of my buttons back on this page [http://www.ddcommunity.org/ddc-resources/ddresources/](http://www.ddcommunity.org/ddc-resources/ddresources/) * Also trying to create new buttons, for a new page, but not finding the options to do so. * Sigh. * [lewistruth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lewistruth/) * (@lewistruth) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-gone-after-update/#post-6175046) * Phew!! I did get to create the new buttons! * But it is looking like I will have to reinstall some of the others…. * Plugin Author [Bas Schuiling](https://wordpress.org/support/users/basszje/) * (@basszje) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/button-gone-after-update/#post-6175049) * For the next readers, don’t start creating new buttons if something goes wrong since that will disallow any migration the plugin is doing from the old database table to the new one.
