# No button, just hyperlinked text

 * Since activating this plugin, my download will not display as a button – just
   as hyperlink text and it does not include the text name of the download. If I
   disable this plugin and just use the default main plugin, I get the button back
   and it says “$0.00 – and the name of the download.”
 * I am using the shortcode `[purchase_link id="119" style="button" color="green"
   text="Adobe ePortfolios"]`.
 * Go to [http://evscicats.com/demoschool/faculty-and-staff/administration/](http://evscicats.com/demoschool/faculty-and-staff/administration/)
   and scroll to the bottom of the page to view the hyperlink.
 * Any help you can give is greatly appreciated.
 * Thanks – Jerrad

 * Hi, how the download link showed is depends on what CSS class assigned to it,
   or you can assign any class you want and make your own styling, and if you want
   the link to be a blue button just like EDD default purchase button, try this:
 * -> Go to EDD settings
    -> Click Misc tab -> Under “Free Download Settings” ->
   Find “Download button CSS class” textbox setting -> Put this `edd-submit button
   blue` and save.
 * You can also change the download button text at the settings, but the text will
   be static, the plugin doesn’t currently support dynamically showing the download
   name at the button, good idea though, we may be able to support it in the next
   update.
 * But, as for now you can manually type the text that will be shown at the button
   using EDD – Free Download shortcode:
 * `[download_link id="119" class="edd-submit button blue" text="Adobe ePortfolios"]`
 * or you can emit the class definition if you have done it in the settings:
 * `[download_link id="119" text="Adobe ePortfolios"]`.
 * Thanks!

 * Hello,
 * This was great, I’ve now got a yellow button with a description on it.
 * Do I have to create a nice form for the member page? And where do these member
   details go?
 * thanks

 * Hello,
 * The form is created automatically, and all the users will be registered as normal
   WordPress user on your site, so you can find them under WordPress users menu.

 * This should be default in the plugin so as not to cause confusion.
