 * Good day, I’m using the responsive theme from wordpress and I am trying to put
   a max button in my featured content, however the button does not display. Is 
   there anyway I resolve this. It does not display the button however it shows 
   this code [maxbutton id=”1″]

 * You most likely just need to use the do_shortcode function as noted here in the
   Codex [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/do_shortcode)
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode('[maxbutton id=3]'); ?>`

 * In the responsive theme, Appearance > theme options > home page : featured content…
   this is where I want to copy and past a button. Maxbutton shortcode doesnt work
   in there. Is there another way around that? Please help.

 * You should be able to use just the shortcode if you are adding it to a TinyMCE
   and not the actual file. But if that is not the case, you may want to ask the
   theme developer how it handles shortcodes.
