 * Hi,
 * I have installed the plugin and activated it. In a post the “Add button” button
   appears next the “Add Media” button. When I click it the Add button window opens
   but only the instructions and Cancel button are showing as below:
 * **Insert Button into Editor **
 * **Select a button from the list below to place the button shortcode in the editor.**
 * **Cancel**
 * The buttons to select are not showing.
 * My PHP is 5.5 and I am running the Goodnews Theme.
 * Any ideas what’s happening?
 * Thanks very much

 * Hi Pix,
 * Did you create any buttons already? And are they being displayed in the button
   overview of the plugin?
 * You can try to copy the shortcode from the editor and see if that works ( aka
   displays on your site ). If that’s the case maybe there is some conflict with
   the theme.

 * No, I haven’t created any buttons yet. Am not able to access the plug-in beyond
   the first screen I described above.
 * I think it must be a theme conflict.

 * In the WordPress menu on the left try to find a tab for “Maxbuttons” and click
   that. This is where you can design your buttons you can use later. The screen
   you mention is there for adding existing buttons to your content. Hope that helps.

 * Good to hear! I’ll mark this as solved then. If you like the plugin, you can
