 * Hi There, I am trying to use this button plugin in an email however when I copy
   the shortcode into the email all I see is the shortcode and not the button. I’m
   sure it can be done but I’ve tried everything and am now at a loss.

 * Hi,
 * You would need some email functionality within WordPress that also allows using
   shortcodes. I don’t know what you use now, but that would be the first step.
