  Hello,

  How do I utilize the action button that comes with the Edin theme? I can’t seem to find where I would reinstate it.

  Thanks,
  Kathleen

  Hi Kathleen,

  Some special HTML needs to be used in order to add the action button to the header image area.

  In case you’re not familiar: HTML is a coding language that’s used across the web to structure sites. You may have used it before to create a link, as described here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/beginning-html/#adding-a-link

  To add an action button, you will first need to follow the above steps to add a link to your home page. From there, you should add class=”button” to style your link as a button.

  Here’s an example of what the HTML for a button that linked to yourgroovysite.wordpress.com would look like:

  <a href="https://yourgroovysite.wordpress.com/" class="button">BUTTON</a>

  If you scroll down to the “Extras” section of the theme’s documentation, you’ll find a little more guidance there:

  https://wordpress.com/themes/edin/

  Let me know how you get on with that. If any questions come up along the way, then we’ll be right here.

  That’s right! You’re able to add the action button in the free version of the theme. :) The HTML can be added directly to your editor.

  One more question, I should have a link set up first, (in this case can I use Eventbrite?) before I start adding the HTML, correct?

  That’s right. :) You should have the place you’d like to link the button to set up.

  Are you looking to embed your events from Eventbrite to a page on your site? If so, you can follow the guidance here:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/eventbrite/

  If you’d prefer to link directly to your Eventbrite page then that’s absolutely possible too.

  Let me know if you have any extra questions.
