 * Hi,
 * I have a button that I created using the Ultimate Shortcodes plugin (I need to
   wrap the button in a shortcode in order to trigger a popup, which is why I’m 
   using the plugin and not the Elementor button).
 * The button shows up fine when I’m editing the page. But when I logout of the 
   page, and look at it, the button shows up for one second and then disappears.
   I’ve tried multiple browsers and also had a friend look at it on his computer.
   Same problem.
 * Any idea why the button won’t show up for more than a second?
 * Thanks!

 * Likely some other front end css or js is the culprit. Are you able to post a 
   url for us?

 * Hi Phillip – I honestly don’t think the problem is with Elementor. I tried with
   a different page builder and ran into the same problem. So you’re likely right
   about the css or js.
 * If you’re willing to take a quick look, here’s my website: [http://www.edherzog.com](http://www.edherzog.com)
 * Or if you could give me some quick instructions on how to diagnose a css/js problem,
   that would be cool too.
 * Thanks!

 * I use the browser inspect (chrome F12) tool to check the html/css code right 
   where the area is that you would expect the button to be (right click, inspect)
   and see if it’s hidden due to some css.
 * When I open that URL I see 2 buttons, one is green and the other is red. What
   should I be looking for? Is it a 3rd button that is not showing?

 * Interesting. There were only two buttons, but they were blue and red, not green
   and red. Anyway, I ended up redoing the page using a page builder that’s tied
   to the shortcode I was using. Not a page builder that I like, but didn’t have
   much of a choice.
 * Thanks for your help!!!
