Create styled buttons in WordPress
Button Plugin Pro is a WordPress button generator for creating custom buttons, social icons, and social share button sets. It provides a visual way to define button appearance and behavior without limiting each design to the same basic style. The plugin includes live preview tools, widget placement, and multiple shortcode selection for use across a site.
The Pro edition expands the available button choices with drop-down buttons, nine button types, seven social button sets, hover effects, and 2D and 3D button styles. These options can be used to build navigation elements, calls to action, social links, and other button-based interface components.
Button styles and social sets
Choose from simple buttons, icon buttons, social buttons, drop-down buttons, and CSS3-inspired 2D or 3D designs. The plugin provides seven social button sets and nine sets of other button types in the supplied feature list. Social icons can be used for social links or sharing-related button layouts.
Gradient support and hover effects add further styling choices. Pro also lists more than 500 Google Fonts and unlimited color options, allowing button text and supporting elements to be matched to different site designs.
Detailed visual controls
The editor includes controls for many parts of a button’s appearance. You can set font size, font family, text color, hover text color, alignment, padding, height, width, background color, hover background color, border, border radius, and border style.
- Use gradients and unlimited colors.
- Apply text shadows and define their colors, including hover colors.
- Configure button shadows and hover shadows with their associated colors.
- Adjust container margin and button alignment.
- Choose icon buttons and social icons.
- Add custom CSS for additional styling.
- Preview button changes while editing.
These settings make it possible to create restrained text buttons, prominent visual calls to action, social button groups, or dimensional 2D and 3D treatments while keeping their styling under one plugin interface.
Use buttons across your site
Button Plugin Pro supports buttons in widgets and provides widget multiple shortcode selection. This allows a button or selected button set to be placed in widget areas as well as in content that accepts shortcodes. A social set can be prepared for repeated use, while individual button styles can be configured for specific links or page sections.
The plugin’s settings are described as easy to use and user friendly. Live preview is available for the button editor, helping you review typography, colors, borders, shadows, spacing, and hover presentation before placing the result on the site.
Installation and setup
Install the paid plugin in WordPress, open its settings, and create a button or button set. Select a button type, add the required icon or social styling, and configure the text, colors, dimensions, borders, shadows, and hover options. Use the live preview to review the design, then place it with a widget or the appropriate shortcode selection.
