How To Add A Button To Text Fields

Sometimes you just need to add a button or two or three in the text field of your widget, module...etc. We're going to show you how to easily do this in most text fields. We say most, because the text field has to accept HTML. Most widgets, modules, etc by most page builders (Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, WP Bakery..and so) allow HTML.

Just want the code? No problem, we've got a plain text file with all of it for you at the bottom of this post.

Let's Get Started!

  The HTML
  You might think we will be using the Button tag, however we aren't. We will be using the A tag and assigning a class. The reason for this, is to allow us to assign a link and some styling to make it a button.

Before any CSS it will look like this: Contact Us
If you look closer, you'll see the class "my-custom-button" has been assigned to this tag. This will allow us to add the stying.

  The CSS
  This is where all the fun happens. With some CSS you can easily style the simple text link into a pretty new button.

.my-custom-button {

display: inline-block;
margin: 5px;
background: #ffd300;
color: #1a2d59;
font-size: 16px;
border-radius: 10px;
padding: 8px 16px;
-moz-transition: all 0.2s;
-webkit-transition: all 0.2s;
transition: all 0.2s;
}

.my-custom-button:hover {

background: #666;
color: #ffd300;
}
