Shortcode Approach● Shortcode allows the user to create a button

without knowing how to code

● It can be placed anywhere in the content of a post or page as well as in text widgets

function mytheme_button($atts, $content = null) { $atts = shortcode_atts(array('link' => '', 'color' => ''), $atts); return '<a class="button ' . $color . '" href="' . $link . '">' . do_shortcode($content) . '</a>';}add_shortcode('button', 'mytheme_button');
