Title: Strange code beneath button Last modified: July 11, 2020 --- # Strange code beneath button * Resolved [mregesi93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mregesi93/) * (@mregesi93) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-code-beneath-button/) * There is a strange code that keeps appearing beneath the button when I preview the website in the browser. The code says [/expander_maker”class=””> * I need to know how I can remove the code that appears beneath the button when I preview it or at least make it white so that it does not show at all on the white background. * I am using materialis pro as the theme and in the customizer I placed a shortcode to a form inside the readmore shortcode, as shown below: [expander_maker id=” 1″ more=”Read more” less=”Read less”][site_reviews_form][/expander_maker] * The website is currently still in maintenance mode because I can’t reveal it to the general public until this problem is fixed. - This topic was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by [mregesi93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mregesi93/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fstrange-code-beneath-button%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * Plugin Author [edmon.parker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edmonparker/) * (@edmonparker) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-code-beneath-button/#post-13109590) * Hi [@mregesi93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mregesi93/), * Thank you for connecting with us. Could you please share a URL with an issue? * Thread Starter [mregesi93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mregesi93/) * (@mregesi93) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-code-beneath-button/#post-13110212) * Sure, Thanks for reaching out. I don’t really have a URL because the page that is having the problem is a duplicate page that I am using to test the new functionality. A screenshot might be more helpful if that is possible. * But the website is [https://www.financialfutures1st.com](https://www.financialfutures1st.com). At the bottom in the review section, there is sometimes a code that appears beneath the button that says [/expander_maker”class=””> * I have been trying to find out what is causing it or how I can remove it permanently. I was able to remove it by recreating the button in the Materialis pro customizer using a different CTA section format but it could still appear again in the future. * The button is created with a shortcode that opens up another shortcode that displays a form. Sometimes the button has even become inactive and it once caused other sections below it to disappear. * Thank you. - This reply was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by [mregesi93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mregesi93/). - This reply was modified 5 years, 10 months ago by [mregesi93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mregesi93/). * Plugin Author [edmon.parker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edmonparker/) * (@edmonparker) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-code-beneath-button/#post-13112134) * Dear [@mregesi93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mregesi93/), * I think there is an issue related to the invalid sort code. Our plugin shortcode need to have this look like * `[expander_maker id="1" more="Read more" less="Read less"]Read more hidden text[/ expander_maker]` * I think it’s you saved inside other plugin settings. Please go to that plugin settings and find that text. * Thread Starter [mregesi93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mregesi93/) * (@mregesi93) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-code-beneath-button/#post-13112271) * I don’t get much flexibility to make changes to the settings. I only receive a shortcode which I place on the site along with the shortcode of the form I want people to fill. Below is the shortcode as I have it written: [expander_maker id=”1″ more=”Read more” less=”Read less”] [site_reviews_form] [/expander_maker] * It either shows up with a strange code beneath the button saying [/expander_maker” class=””> or it shows up without the code but people can’t fill the form because the text is white on a white background and they can’t see what they’re typing. * Plugin Author [edmon.parker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edmonparker/) * (@edmonparker) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-code-beneath-button/#post-13118531) * Dear [@mregesi93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mregesi93/), * Have you ever try to write some text instead of [site_reviews_form]? Please temporarily remove that shortcode and write there something and check that thing. * Please let me know about your progress. * Thread Starter [mregesi93](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mregesi93/) * (@mregesi93) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/strange-code-beneath-button/#post-13140803) * Thanks for your response and help. I cant write anything else because there has to be a form that shows up for people to give reviews. That is the shortcode for the form. * I was able to remove the problem by using a different section design in the theme customizer. But the problem could still show up again in the future so I am concerned. * The website is now live.
