This is genius it’s totally intuitive…

This is the best implementation of adding buttons that I could imagine. Say I had to figure out was to center the buttons it would be wise to create a 3 column on the page and add them to the middle column. Thank you very much for this plugin!!
Awesome customization for beginners
by 01labs·1 year ago
I’d say my html skill level is around a 4. I’m more of a front end guy. So adding buttons in the back end had me cringing. I was trying to add a button in an accordion content window so I couldn’t drag/drop a button in there. MaxButtons gave me the control to customize my button and drop in a shortcode to the page. Super stoked that I found this plugin!
Useful!

Thank you for this very useful “little” plugin.
Not only it works well, but it’s still working fine under WordPress 5.9 too!
