Button Help!

My shortcode: [button color=”blue” size=”” type=”square” target=”İndir” link=”http://files.sa-mp.com/sa-mp-0.3.7-install.exe”%5D%5B/button%5D

How to fix??

Hi

Are you referring at this button: http://screencast.com/t/2p4RK6Tk1TB If so then the shortcode is not correct, it should look like this:

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title="Google" link="url:https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fopradu%2Fnewspaper|title:test|target:%20_blank"][/vc_column][/vc_row]
Please make sure that you’re using the latest version of the theme which is v2.3.1 and also the updated version of Visual Composer plugin.
If this is not what you mean please provide more details so I can duplicate the situation on my side.
Thanks!

Thank you Andrei!

There is also the button short code in the editor. What’s the syntax for that?

Tip for learning to use short codes from editor:
a) create demo ‘page’ set to private
b) go to visual editor, insert the shortcode you want
if you can’t see the shortcode syntax properly, then
c) switch to the html editor to see shortcode HTML

Done.

Hi

Thanks @Chris S for your answer.

@tradenet to get the shortcode of an element from Visual Composer just switch in backend editor after you added the element into a page: http://screencast.com/t/ksXi4zyLc4ex – http://screencast.com/t/JLpRq3nD

Thanks!

IMHO, it would be nice if VC would have some proper documentation. Going through these steps just wastes valuable time and extra steps.
Especially on a syntax level. It maybe out there but I am just not finding it. Thank-you, gentlemen for you suggestions.

The VC documentation is useful to review at some point:

A shortcode cheat sheet WOULD be super helpful! 🙂

I’ve been in software development and internet development since 1987. IMHO software is not complete until fully documented. But the big problem is software programmers hate documenting things. Whole other skill set. Unfortunately the stuff won’t sell unless it is PROPERLY documented.
