 * Hi all,
 * I have a big favour to ask you kind people. I have a new site, and at the top
   of this site there is a button that says “Post A Job” and links to the post a
   job page. Here is the code for that button:
 *     ```
       <div class="buttons">
       							<div class="menu-btn icon-menu-1 blue-button"></div>
       							<?php
       							if ( !empty( $job_manager_slug ) ) {
       								$post_a_job = true;
   
       								$post_a_job_link = '
       								<div class="postajob">
       									<a href="' . get_permalink( get_page_by_path( $job_manager_slug ) ) . '" class="blue-button">' . __('Post a job', 'vh' ) . '</a>
       								</div>';
       							} else {
       								$post_a_job_link = '';
       								$post_a_job = false;
       							}
       ```
   
 * I would like to change this code so the button says “Recruiters” and points to
   a different link.
 * Thanks for any potential help 🙂
    James

 * Hey James,
 * Hopefully I can lend a hand.
 * This part controls the text: (‘Post a job’, ‘vh’ ), namely the part in between
   the single quotes: ‘Post a job’ So if you change **Post a job** there, it should
   change the button text.
 * It looks like the link itself is coming from this variable, which seems to be
   set somewhere else: $job_manager_slug
 * You could either set the variable here in the button code, so right under`$post_a_job
   = true;` you could add something like `$job_manager_slug = 'http://example.com';`,
   like so:
 *     ```
       $post_a_job = true;
       $job_manager_slug = 'http://example.com';
       ```
   
 * Or you can replace the variable in the button link with your url below:
 *     ```
       <a href="' . get_permalink( get_page_by_path( $job_manager_slug ) ) . '" class="blue-button">
       ```
   
 * Adding your url instead of `. get_permalink( get_page_by_path( $job_manager_slug)).`,
   like you would with a normal html link.
 * I hope this helps!

 * Thanks kaisuess for your quick reply.
 * I tried both of your ideas and they didnt work 🙁
 * Your first suggestion for some reason pointed to the home page. The second gave
   me a syntax error.
 * I have changed the button wording to “Recruiters” – 🙂
 * Thanks again
