 * I have a button all set up and displaying correctly on my page. In the backend
   I have set a URL and the button correctly uses this URL on the live page. However,
   if I edit the button on my page by adding url=”[http://yoururl&#8221](http://yoururl&#8221);(
   updated to any full URL) it doesn’t override the existing URL I set in the settings.
 * If I remove the URL from settings and have url=”[http://yoururl&#8221](http://yoururl&#8221);(
   updated to any full URL) added in the button shortcode there is no link on the
   live page button.
 * I am on the latest WP build and twentytwenty theme.

 * Do you have a page I can see the issue on ?
 * If the URL is a normal page link it should work as you see. Do you have any caching
   plugins active? Be sure to flush those.

 * Thanks for the reply.
 * It looks like it is a problem when inside the block I have the button in. Maybe
   even as it is a reusable block. I’ll test later, but now know it is working out
   of this block.
