 * Hi all,
    I’d need a custom function that sets a button’s text randomly to one
   of an array of names, every time it is called/the page is (re)loaded. Is there
   a way to do this? Regards Lukas

 * The easiest is to use shortcodes within PHP and use the text modifier:
 * `<?php echo do_shortcode('[maxbutton id=x text=' . $text . ']'); ?>`

 * If you don’t know how to do this within WordPress themes or custom plugin I’d
   recommend to hire a developer who can do this.
