 * I am having problems where I have four buttons I want to use (button IDs are 
   1, 2, 4, 6), and the last one, ID 6 is not working. All the other buttons show
   up perfectly fine.
 * I am using the free version – is there a limit to how many buttons a free user
   can use?

 * Shouldn’t be. Are you updated to the latest version? Also, when you try to use
   the last one, what happens?
 * If you haven’t tried deactivating and reactivating after your last update, give
   that a shot.

 * WordPress 4.0.1 running Responsive theme, using MaxButtons v1.29.
 * I deactivated, re-activated as well as deleted and reinstalled the plugin with
   no success.
 * Neither the button or text relating to the button shows up at all – as if it 
   doesn’t really exist.

 * Have you tried any IDs past 6? Created any new buttons that also don’t work? 
   Just trying to narrow down what the issue might be.

 * Didn’t try using the ID # tag instead of ID *NAME*, and that works.
 * Thank you for help with troubleshooting!

 * Awesome. Just out of curiosity, what were the shortcodes you were trying to use?

 * I used one-word references. Examples:
    [maxbutton name=”Learn”] [maxbutton name
   =”Read”] [maxbutton name=”Monthly”] [maxbutton name=”Single”]
