Is there something which I need to do additional or the functionality is not there even. * Apart of above I also tried to put few Short codes, those also didn’t work. Please let me know how can I add php code / Additional Button ( Call to action)& Short codes to the Pop ups. * Cheers !

However, there is a bug in the current version of the plugin which prevents them from being properly displayed when using Preview option from admin rather then checking the popup on the front end. For that problem I’ve already provided a solution in the thread here [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-shortcode?replies=6#post-7587456](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/mailpoet-shortcode?replies=6#post-7587456). * If that’s not the case please let me know which shortcodes are you trying to use so I can try to test this on my sandbox site. * Please let me know 🙂 * Cheers, Bojan * Reply * Thread Starter [Ashish27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashish27/) * (@ashish27) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-code-short-codes-doesnt-work/#post-6999269) * Hi Bojan, * I am well, Thanks for asking. * Yes, Shortcodes are working fine.

Actually I am trying to add an Additional button for “Call to action” to redirect user to registration page. * Referring to [Screen capture.jpg ](http://bizgps.co.za/Screen%20Capture.jpg) here.How can I add additional button here next to “Login” button. * I used below code to add button HTML `Register;` * custom CSS * ``` #popup .button { border: 0px solid #0a3c59; background: #3e779d; background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#65a9d7), to(#3e779d)); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #65a9d7, #3e779d); background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #65a9d7, #3e779d); background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #65a9d7, #3e779d); background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #65a9d7, #3e779d); background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #65a9d7 0%, #3e779d 100%); padding: 15px 30px; -webkit-border-radius: 30px; -moz-border-radius: 30px; border-radius: 30px; -webkit-box-shadow: rgba(255,255,255,0.4) 0 1px 0, inset rgba(255,255,255,0.4) 0 1px 0; -moz-box-shadow: rgba(255,255,255,0.4) 0 1px 0, inset rgba(255,255,255,0.4) 0 1px 0; box-shadow: rgba(255,255,255,0.4) 0 1px 0, inset rgba(255,255,255,0.4) 0 1px 0; text-shadow: #7ea4bd 0 1px 0; color: #06426c; font-size: 17px; font-family: helvetica, serif; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: middle; } #popup .button:hover { border: 0px solid #0a3c59; text-shadow: #1e4158 0 1px 0; background: #3e779d; background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#65a9d7), to(#3e779d)); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #65a9d7, #3e779d); background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #65a9d7, #3e779d); background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #65a9d7, #3e779d); background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #65a9d7, #3e779d); background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #65a9d7 0%, #3e779d 100%); color: #fff; } #popup .button:active { text-shadow: #1e4158 0 1px 0; border: 0px solid #0a3c59; background: #65a9d7; background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, from(#3e779d), to(#3e779d)); background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #3e779d, #65a9d7); background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #3e779d, #65a9d7); background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #3e779d, #65a9d7); background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #3e779d, #65a9d7); background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #3e779d 0%, #65a9d7 100%); color: #fff; } ``` * Didn’t work 🙁 Please assist.Have a good day * Regards Ashish * Plugin Author [Bojan Radonic – WPMU DEV Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wpmudev-support4/) * (@wpmudev-support4) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-code-short-codes-doesnt-work/#post-6999284) * Hey again Ashish, * This is not the problem with the CSS but rather with how the HTML is being rendered, if you check the screenshot you’ll see that the link tag “a” is being replaced with some character so the HTML doesn’t work properly. * I’ve tested this on my sandbox site using the same HTML and everything worked properly, see screenshot [http://screencast.com/t/FrHLm2tI](http://screencast.com/t/FrHLm2tI). * It’s possibly that some of the plugins or your theme is causing this so you might want to try testing for conflicts, to do that please try using default WordPress theme like Twenty Fifteen and deactivating all other plugins as displayed in the following flowchart to know which theme/plugin is conflicting if any. * [http://premium.wpmudev.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Support-Process-Support-Process.png](http://premium.wpmudev.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Support-Process-Support-Process.png) * Please let me know if you find anything 🙂 * Cheers, Bojan * Thread Starter [Ashish27](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashish27/) * (@ashish27) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-code-short-codes-doesnt-work/#post-6999331) * Hi Bojan, * I am happy with the resolution.
