Title: Use shortcode with a different button?

And it comes with drag and drop buttons. Is there a way we could use the shortcode/something from your brilliant plugin that has served us SO well, within those buttons? * The code behind the buttons is

* But we’re lost because we don’t have a href for a stripe modal obviously. * We are able to use shortcodes as custom html elements within the plugin so we can do that if necessary, but just wanted to check if we can just incorporate the same function but with their styling. * Thanks a million for a great plugin whatever the answer! * (PS that page is not live yet, but may be by the time you read this. Not sure if that will matter or if supplying the code from their button may be enough) * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fuse-shortcode-with-a-different-button%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Author [Nicolas Figueira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nahuelmahe/) * (@nahuelmahe) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-shortcode-with-a-different-button/#post-10450303) * Hello [@girlcrewhq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/girlcrewhq/), * Thank you for using Direct Stripe and for your kind words. * I understand that yu would like to use a Direct Stripe Button with your own styling, is that correct ? If not, could you rephrase the question please ? * The simpler way to customize the Button style is via css, set the Styles parameter not to use custom styles or Stripe styles and apply css to the Button markup ( or the ID set in the Button ID option of the button settings page ). * Otherwise I added PHP filters that will be available on the next update that will allow to completely customize the markup. The version is already available in the Github repo on the Develop Branch, link to download the plugin is [https://github.com/New0/direct-stripe/archive/develop.zip](https://github.com/New0/direct-stripe/archive/develop.zip) * You can replace current version of Direct Stripe with this version and use a custom plugin to set your own markup. I made a Gist that does what I understood you need at [https://gist.github.com/New0/435f41907de2edd1292b1849c7d0456b](https://gist.github.com/New0/435f41907de2edd1292b1849c7d0456b) * So if you want to test the Gist : – Delete Direct Stripe from your WordPRess installation – Download the version from the link [https://github.com/New0/direct-stripe/archive/develop.zip](https://github.com/New0/direct-stripe/archive/develop.zip)– Install and activate it – Download ZIP of the Gist at [https://gist.github.com/New0/435f41907de2edd1292b1849c7d0456b](https://gist.github.com/New0/435f41907de2edd1292b1849c7d0456b)– Install it as a plugin and activate it – The code requires to set the button ID ‘MyButtonID’ for the button you want to apply that markup to – Then don’t forget to set the Styling settings to Do Not set styles * I hope that can help, best wishes, * Nico * Plugin Author [Nicolas Figueira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nahuelmahe/) * (@nahuelmahe) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-shortcode-with-a-different-button/#post-10455131) * Hello [@girlcrewhq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/girlcrewhq/) * I updated the plugin with the hooks that allow changing the button markup. ( As shown in the example at [https://gist.github.com/New0/435f41907de2edd1292b1849c7d0456b](https://gist.github.com/New0/435f41907de2edd1292b1849c7d0456b)). * But if the change are only styling and don’t require to add additionnal tags to the markup, I definitely recommend using CSS. * Let me know if that helped. * Best wishes, * Thread Starter [girlcrewhq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/girlcrewhq/) * (@girlcrewhq) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-shortcode-with-a-different-button/#post-10480174) * Thanks so much for the detailed response. I saw the plugin was update when i went back to it, so didn’t need to do it via Github download but thanks for that option! * [This is a screenshot of the button setting options in the editor we’re using](http://www.girlcrew.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/thrive-button-editor.png)– it does offer option for CSS Class & ID. In DS Style Settings I have selected Do Not Set Styles The Button CSS ID in DS BUtton Settings is MyButtonID But I’m not sure what the Class is – or if I’m even understanding this approach correctly. I feel I may have it back to front! * Plugin Author [Nicolas Figueira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nahuelmahe/) * (@nahuelmahe) * [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-shortcode-with-a-different-button/#post-10483343) * Hello [@girlcrewhq](https://wordpress.org/support/users/girlcrewhq/), * I understand that you want to add a button via the page builder and apply Direct Stripe actions to that button, is that correct ? * Does the page builder allow shortcodes or html ? If yes, I think it is the best way to insert a Direct Stripe button, then you can style it using CSS. * Let me know if you need help with shortcode options or styling. * Best wishes, Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘Use shortcode with a different button?’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/direct-stripe_7787ff.svg) * [Direct Stripe](https://wordpress.org/plugins/direct-stripe/) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/direct-stripe/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/direct-stripe/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/direct-stripe/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/direct-stripe/reviews/) * 4 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [Nicolas Figueira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nahuelmahe/) * Last activity: [7 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-shortcode-with-a-different-button/#post-10483343) * Status: resolved
