  Hi there, what page would you like to link the button to?

  You’ll need to edit the button to point to that page.

  – Open your Customizer‘s Theme Options panel

  – Open the Homepage Template panel

  – In the Hero Content field, replace the URL in this button code:

  <a href="https://gatewaydemo.wordpress.com/add-a-call-to-action-button/" class="button">Call to Action</a>

  …with a link to the page you’d like the button to go to when clicked.

  For example, say you’d like the button to say “Contact Us” and you’d like it to link to your contact page. Replace the button code above with:

  <a href="https://bigbluehvac.wordpress.com/contact/" class="button">Contact Us</a>

  Let me know how you get along with this.

  Hi,

  it keeps redirecting me to a page explaining how to add a widgets

  Where are you finding that instruction? You may have misinterpreted what the theme guide says. The instructions in the Gateway theme guide for adding a “Call to Action” button are as follows:

  To add a “Call to Action” button, paste the following code into the HTML Editor or a Text Widget:

  <a href="http://example.com" class="button">Button Text</a>

  Replace http://example.com with the URL of your choice, and Button Text with what you want the button to say.

  The guide indicates that the code may be inserted into the HTML editor of a content type (static page, post, project, testimonial), or into a text widget. Adding it to a text widget will cause it to be displayed in the corresponding widget area, which explains why one “Call to Action” button appears in a footer widget area on https://bigbluehvac.wordpress.com/.

  I believe a new site with the Gateway theme applied will include by default “Call to Action” buttons in the Hero Content and Video Content sections of the Homepage Template. Your site has a “Call to Action” button in each of these sections. Where to edit these sections is described and illustrated in the theme guide.
