  I have the CSS upgrade but I am struggling to find the code to add a call to action button to my front page. I would be grateful for any help anyone can offer.

  Thanks

  Hi, if you go to the Edin Theme Showcase page, and scroll down near the bottom you will find a section called Extras which explains how to create the buttons. There are two. A minimal design with just an outline and your call to action text, and then the regular one with a background color.

  Hi
  I copied the button -minimal code from Edin extra’s into the CSS editor, edited it with my site information and saved and published – nothing happened. I’ve obviously been stupid and done something wrong. Any ideas?

  Thanks

  Hi, where exactly did you try and put the code?

  Probably in the wrong place – the CSS editor in customise …

  Thanks

  The CSS for the buttons is already set, so all you would need to do is to place the text you want on your call to action button in your post or page where you want it. Highlight that text and use the Link button to set the link for it. Then, switch to the Text tab in your editor and add class=”button” or class=”button-minimal to the link code so that it looks similar to this:
  <a href="https://yourgroovysite.wordpress.com/about/" class="button">YOUR BUTTON TEXT</a>

  Hi, I’m trying this code and I also saw the same code on Edin’s page but for some reason it doesn’t work. The links, the “call to action” and the word “button” appear in read.

  I’m not seeing the call to action button on any of your pages. Can you point me to a page or post where it is so I can take a look?
