# Button Duplicates when embedded

 * I have tried this a couple of times to no avail…
 * I go through the options to create my button and the preview displays the button
   how I’d like to be displayed on my site and when hovered over. However, when 
   saving the button and copying the shortcode over to the section I’d like to embed
   it into, the buttons displays two buttons instead of one and I do not understand
   why.
 * Please can you help

 * Are you sure you didn’t copy over the shortcode twice? Could you show me the 
   code in the widget? I should show [maxbutton id=1] ( where 1 is the ID of your
   button ) only once.

 * `Hey Bas,
 * Here is an image of where the shortcode is located: [http://3f9.6dd.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Screen-Shot-2015-12-30-at-11.48.37.png](http://3f9.6dd.myftpupload.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Screen-Shot-2015-12-30-at-11.48.37.png)
 * It has an id of 3 because it was my 3rd attempt at embedding the shortcode.
 * Below is where I took the shortcode from and how it should be displayed, but 
   for some reason, there is padding above the text – however I’d like to focus 
   on resolving the issue regarding the duplication.

 * You’ll need to delete one of the shortcode declarations since they are the same.
   The plugin offers to include the button either by number (ID) or by name. If 
   you add both, you get two buttons.
