 * Hello,
 * I have one question. Can I create custom button that adds shortcode? In this 
   case I want to add new button that inserts Contact Form 7 shortcode in my post.
 * Thanks.

 * Unfortunately this is not the right place to ask. Our plugin does not provide
   any editor functionality, it just allows to use the visual editor for widgets.
   
   For further info about adding custom buttons read the [Codex documentation](https://codex.wordpress.org/TinyMCE_Custom_Buttons)
   and [this guide](http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/guide-to-creating-your-own-wordpress-editor-buttons--wp-30182).

 * Are you aware whether your plugin conflicts with trying to add a custom button?
 * I tried [http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/guide-to-creating-your-own-wordpress-editor-buttons–wp-30182](http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/guide-to-creating-your-own-wordpress-editor-buttons–wp-30182)
   and noticed it wasn’t working.

 * [@one3rdnerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/one3rdnerd/) The article you
   linked is over 2 years old and in the meantime WordPress switched to the new 
   version (4.0) of TinyMCE editor, so it’s possible that the code is no longer 
   compatible.
    Please see [WordPress 3.9+ compatibility](https://codex.wordpress.org/Plugin_API/Filter_Reference/mce_external_plugins#Wordpress_3.9.2B_compatibility)
   on Codex for further info.
