He everyone just a quick question.
Is it possible to add a hyperlink to a button in a post in the newspaper theme?

Im using this shortcode. [vc_button title="Visit official website" target="_self" color="default" size="size_large" href="#4db2ec"] can i link the button so when you click on it, it will open a new window?

Thanks

Hi,
To open in a new window on target parameters use “_blank” instead of “_self”
Thanks!

Hi,
You use the parameters incorrect from the shortcode button.

title – is the button text
target – here is the open type like _blank – for new window http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp
color – is the button color
href – is the link like http://www.google.com

try this:
[vc_button title="Visit official website" target="_blank" color="default" size="size_large" href="https://google.com"]

Thanks!
