    Hello,

    I need to create a button whose URL is populated dynamically. Specifically I want the link to contain some url parameters taken from the url parameters from the current page. I tried using this plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/url-params/ which works great, but unfortunately it seems that I can not use shortcode inside of the button’s url field. How can I resolve this?

    Thanks!

    This is something that needs to be solved with some code I’m afraid.

    You can use shortcodes within templates to get the URL you require, something like this :

    $param = sanitize_text_field($_GET['param']);
echo do_shortcode("[maxbutton id=1 url="http://example.com?param=$param]");

    There is also a filter in maxbuttons for URL’s called ‘mb-url’ and ‘mb-url-x’ , where the X is for button_id, so you can filter per button.

    I’m not sure what you are trying to do, but those might help.
