 * Reviewing the source code of the page, the shortcode does not add any HTML to
   the page when rendered if there is NO default URL set in the settings of the 
   plugin.

 * Hello.
 * Yes the button shortcode doesn’t seem to be working. I have the following implemented
   on a page.
 * [color-button color=”orange” url=”[http://map.google.com/”%5DTransit](http://map.google.com/”%5DTransit):
   Pacific / 7th Tacoma-Downtown[/color-button]
 * The HREF is shortened to maps.google.com in this example to show the intention
   of use. The actual long URL for the map for the link would be placed there. I
   have used both the long and shortened version of the URL–no luck. I have left
   the HREF blank and even “#” with no success. The button simply does not show 
   up.
 * It wasn’t until I added a default URL to the settings panel for the plugin, such
   as [http://maps.google.com](http://maps.google.com), the button appears regardless
   if their is something in the HREF reference or not. If you have a default URL,
   the default URL is the ONLY URL the shortcode will display.
 * Your colored boxes work flawless. I am using your latest version of this plugin
   and WordPress 3.5.1.
