 * Is there a way to add extra shortcode to maxbutton
 * this is the code I am working on:
 * [maxbutton id=”1″][frmmodal-content label=Tenant][formidable id=2][/frmmodal-
   content]
 * If there is a better way please advise.

 * Hi,
 * A shortcode in a shortcode will most of the time not work well, because it breaks
   the html codes. 
   I can see you want to open a modal. Many / most plugins for 
   modals include some form of triggering it via a link, class or some other way.
   Maxbuttons can have extra classes, a custom link and some other options under
   advanced which mostly helps to solve the problem. You’ll have to find in the 
   documentation of your plugin how this can be done.
 * We also have an example of how it can be done with one of the plugins, so you’ll
   get the idea of how it works : [https://maxbuttons.com/how-to-open-a-popup-when-a-user-clicks-a-button/](https://maxbuttons.com/how-to-open-a-popup-when-a-user-clicks-a-button/)

 * I tried what was stated and did not work . What I am trying to accomplish is 
   a button with a CTA to a shortcode if that makes sense.

 * I don’t know how your specific plugin works, but the general idea is the same;
   to find some way to trigger the CTA into action without using the shortcode.
 * You can put the shortcode and see how the link looks. Usually the stuff after
   the ? is important. Or you could ask the creator of the other plugin.
