For example: [button style=”simple” size =”small” color=”black” icon=”none” radius=”0px” url=”[http://www.visitsite.com”](http://www.visitsite.com”); title=”Visit Site” target=”blank”]Sample Content[/button] * This is the shortcode i would like to use as a trigger. * I’ve tried many times and cant get this to work. * Plugin Author [Baden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baden03/) * (@baden03) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-button-as-trigger/#post-5871103) * are you able to assign a class to the button? is this shortcode part of your theme, or plugin? can you share a link to your site? * Thread Starter [radar_gb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/radar_gb/) * (@radar_gb) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-button-as-trigger/#post-5871128) * The button is customizable and i cant use standard class to make it work. * I’ve also tried solution from post i found: * ```
[button style="inner" size="small" color="#ffffff" icon="none" radius="0px"]WIĘCEJ[/button]

``` * Which gives me shortcode button, but it doesnt work as a trigger. * Temporary url of the site: [http://www.wefixit.com.pl](http://www.wefixit.com.pl) * Im sorry, but texts are in polish. You can have a look at button ‘WIECEJ’ (which has standard picture set as a trigger at the moment) There is feedback form at the bottom and animated button ‘WYSLIJ’ – thats the one i would like to use as a trigger. * Thanks in advance!! * Plugin Author [Baden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baden03/) * (@baden03) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-button-as-trigger/#post-5871139) * OK. The theme you are using is [Malibu](http://www.themetonic.net/malibu/). Since it is a pro theme, it must come with documentation on the shortcodes. * We posted a question on the support thread here: [http://themeforest.net/item/malibu-one-page-lounge-bar-cafe-resto-wp-theme/8332937/comments?page=3&filter=all#comment_9373393](http://themeforest.net/item/malibu-one-page-lounge-bar-cafe-resto-wp-theme/8332937/comments?page=3&filter=all#comment_9373393) * The only way you can get the button shortcode to act as a triger is if you can a) assign a class and b) assign an id. The only other option you might have is to NOT use the shortcode and roll-your-own button. * For example: * ```

Ive emailed theme developers and thats what they answered: * > if you want to use Collapse-o-Matic and want to create a button to trigger > it, you can add a button shortcode with extra “class” option, like this below: > [button style=”simple” size=”large” color=”#ACD968″ icon=”none” radius=”0px” > url=”#” target=”self” class=”your_trigger_class_name”]Button[/button] > Then you can add JavaScript for triggering using button with extra class. * Does it make any difference? * Plugin Author [Baden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/baden03/) * (@baden03) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/shortcode-button-as-trigger/#post-5871185) * yes! that is exactly what * > are you able to assign a class to the button? * was asking way up at the top of this thread. * Now can you assign an ID as well? * Try this: * ``` [button style="simple" size="large" color="#ACD968" icon="none" radius="0px" url="#" target="self" id="my_test_button" class="collapseomatic noarrow"]Button[/button]
