 * Hi!
 * I’m using the MaxButton plugin with the SKT White theme (you access the actually
   pages by going Appearance > theme option > sections).
 * I’m putting the shortcode in the text and only getting the shortcode on the page.
   Is there something I’m missing?

 * I downloaded the theme and added a button to one of the sections and it only 
   displayed the short code text. Them means that the theme in not processing the
   short code so that its output is displayed. The button short code still works
   in pages and posts. You should take this issue up with the theme author.

 * Hi,
 * I checked the site but it seems you’ve been manually editing the buttons so it
   works well now.
 * I checked your site and it seems the theme is not loading it’s footer correctly
   but dynamically via some javascript and therefore not loading the MaxButtons 
   styles correctly. This is something to discuss with the theme developer indeed.
   I can imagine many other plugins will not work correctly like this as well.
