Overview
Forget About Shortcode (FASC) Buttons are a visual way to add CSS buttons in the rich text editor and to your themes. Instead of adding shortcodes in the post editor, you insert real, styled buttons – making the process of adding buttons to your posts and pages much more natural whilst improving the appearance and usability of the post editor.
FASC Buttons tries to be as clean as possible with the html, only using data attributes for necessary features – the buttons you use in the post editor use the exact same classes as on the front end of your site with no extra or hidden markup to make them behave this way.

This button plugin really helps me to get rid of the complex button short code! Just highlight the words on a page or post, you can make the buttons. You can even choose the colors and styling of the buttons. The plugin is simple, easy and useful. Thank you! Happy 2022!

I was going to post a question in the forum but didn’t as no one has answered any question for over 2 years! I like the plugin but will look for another solution.
