 * Hello,
    there is the problem, that the Link-Button on the backend of many Flipboxes
   doesn’t work. It works when I edit the Flipbox, but not when I set it on one 
   of our websites.
 * Also after the last upadate this bug isn’t solved.
 * Could you help me?
 * Thank you and best regards,
    F. Mnich

 * [@biplob018](https://wordpress.org/support/users/biplob018/) While I know you
   have the best of intentions, it’s forum policy that you _not_ ask users for admin
   or server access. Users on the forums aren’t your customers, they’re your open
   source collaborators, and requesting that kind of access can put you and them
   at high risk.
 * If they _are_ paying customers (such as people who bought a premium service/product
   from you) then by all means, direct them to your official customer support system.
   But in all other cases, you need to help them here on the forums.
 * Thankfully are other ways to get information you need:
    - Ask the user to install the [Health Check plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/health-check/)
      and get the data that way.
    - Ask for a link to the [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/) or [https://gist.github.com](https://gist.github.com)
      log of the user’s web server error log.
    - Ask the user to create and post a link to their `phpinfo();` output.
    - Walk the user through [enabling WP_DEBUG and how to log that output to a file and how to share that file.](https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/)
    - Walk the user through basic troubleshooting steps such and disabling all other
      plugins, clear their cache and cookies and try again (the Health Check plugin
      can do this without impacting any site vistors).
    - Ask the user for the step-by-step directions on how they can reproduce the
      problem.
 * You get the idea.
 * We know volunteer support is not easy, and this guideline can feel needlessly
   restrictive. It’s actually there to protect you as much as end users. Should 
   their site be hacked or have any issues after you accessed it, you could be held
   legally liable for damages. In addition, it’s difficult for end users to know
   the difference between helpful developers and people with malicious intentions.
   Because of that, we rely on plugin developers and long-standing volunteers (like
   you) to help us and uphold this particular guideline.
 * When you help users _here_ and in public, you also help the next person with 
   the same problem. They’ll be able to read the debugging and solution and educate
   themselves. That’s how we get the next generation of developers.

 * Hello,
    unfortunately the problem still exists.
 * Here is a quick solution for the “Style 2”.
    Just change the lines from this …
 *     ```
       <a>" target="<?php echo esc_attr($styledata[53]) ?>">
           <div class="oxilab-button">
               <div class="oxilab-button-data">
                   <?php $this->text_render($filesdata[9]) ?>
               </div>
           </div>
       </a>
       ```
   
 * … to that …
 *     ```
       <a>" target="<?php echo esc_attr($styledata[53]) ?>">
           <span class="oxilab-button"><span class="oxilab-button-data"><?php $this->text_render($filesdata[9]) ?></span></span>
       </a>
       ```
   
 * Thank you and best regards,

 * Hello!
    Thank you for fixing the bug! Now the link-buttons work, but now there’s
   much empty space within the link-button and between the link-buttons and the 
   backend-text. An associate of me has this suggestion:
 * `hi,
 * now it is almost right.
 * you still have to remove all line breaks after the a- and span-tags. otherwise
   wordpress interprets each linebreak with a br-tag.
 * from this one …
 * ” target=”<?php echo esc_attr($styledata[53]) ?>”>
    <span class=”oxilab-button”
   > <span class=”oxilab-button-data”> <?php $this->text_render($filesdata[9]) ?
   > </span> </span>
 * … wordpress does this …
 * [<br>
    <span class=”oxilab-button”><br> <span class=”oxilab-button-data”><br>
   mehr Infos </span><br> </span><br>
 * which leads in bad line breaking.
    please write it this way so it works correctly…
 * 
 * Would be great, if you could still fix this little bug.
 * Thank you and best regards,

 * I think it happened as there have some auto HTML correction plugins on your sites.
   am sure it’s not related to my plugins as there has no br tag into my plugins.
 * form beginning, in your site a tag comes under p tag while it’s generated automatically
   into your sites. I think its conflict with other plugins or theme. you may check
   via deactivating one by one.
 * For example, deactivate one plugin and check. if your problem can’t solve kindly
   reactive that plugin. most probably it comes with conflicts issue.

 * Thank you for this idea! But also when I deactivated all my plugins, there are
   still the line-breaks. This problem didn’t exist, until you have fixed the link-
   button-problem.
    Do you have another idea?

 * Look, I check your sites a couple of times and make sure there have some auto-
   generating issues in your sites.
 * Like I don’t add any p tag before a tag at any button HTML but in your site, 
   those come automatically. As you mention Html minify is not an issue for br tags.
   It comes from others. like CDN issue or caching issue or somehow dynamically 
   rendering Html.

 * Can you please tell me if I can have more than one link on a single flip box?
   I need to image to flip and display three or four links on the back of each image.
