# Missing button shortcodes

 * I have buttons on my site, they are still there. When I went to edit them in 
   my appearance area of my themes, I found the maxbutton shortcode. So, I went 
   to maxbutton plugin to edit that button. None of my buttons shortcodes are listed.
   I did see this warning at the top:
    Warning: mysqli_real_escape_string() expects
   parameter 2 to be string, array given in /home3/cracker/public_html/northeastfloridalife.
   com/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1102
 * I updated my php to 7.2. Still no existing buttons.

 * Hi,
 * How old is the version of MaxButtons you are using? The error suggests it’s quite
   old, that might be the reason why it’s not working.

 * It doesn’t give me the update option when I go to my plugins page. How do I update
   it?

 * It should if you can update other WP plugins, unless you are running an outdated
   version of maxbuttons pro, then you’ll have to buy a new license, and download
   it from our website.
