Link in button to http:// not working

[sboyall]

Hi Dante,

I have tried inserting link (link=”#”) into this Shortcode according to Button Shortcode Documentation:

[sf_button colour=”accent” type=”standard” size=”standard” link=”#” target=”_blank” icon=”ss-erase” dropshadow=”yes” extraclass=”extra-class”]Button text[/sf_button]

The link self-directs to my website with www…../# at the end instead of opening link site. I have tried saving link to Links > add new links, without luck.

How do I insert links to button. I must be missing something!

Cheers

Hi there,

You would need to add a full http:// link to the shortcode, like so:

[sf_button colour="accent" type="standard" size="standard" link="http://www.google.com" target="_blank" icon="ss-erase" dropshadow="yes" extraclass="extra-class"]Button text[/sf_button]

Hope that helps.

Hi Ed,

Thank you, I had the wrong link from Surveymonkey. However, using the full http:// has not actually resolved the issue. While the http:// does work and is linked to new page/tab, the issue has been with embedding an iframe code generated by Surveymonkey – to enable a visitor to click on the button and the Survey appears within the site to the specification I choose within the code. The iframe code looks like below. For security reasons I have removed some code (…..).

<div id=”surveyMonkeyInfo” style=”width:500px;font-size:10px;color:#666;”><div><iframe id=”sm_e_s” src=”https://www.surveymonkey.com/jsEmbed.aspx?sm=……&#8230;..” width=”500″ height=”350″ style=”border:0px;padding-bottom:4px;” frameborder=”0″ allowtransparency=”true” ></iframe></div>Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey , the world’s leading questionnaire tool.</div>

How would I include this (or amended) set of code into the button to enable the survey to appear within the site – as the code above is supposed to do? Or is there a workaround to allow visitors to click on the button and a survey can appear within a screen on the same page, which is hosted by an external site i.e. Surveymonkey?

If you need the complete code to help resolve this issue, I can send to a personal email.

Cheers
Sam

Hi Ed, So it appears that the code, even in text mode (editing) changes once I save draft and when I go to preview it presents a 404 message. I assume that the preview, if the iframe code is correct, the survey should appear. Surveymonkey does support WordPress.org.

Cheers.

Hi,
Can you please share your url in a private post so we can see if there are any JS or Css conflicts that seem to be causing the survey iframe to not open .

You can set the post to private using the Check box(Set as private reply) on the right bottome of the text area .

Thanks
Tahir

Hi, you cannot place full html code in the link attribute of a shortcode, you can only place a link into the link value.

Cheers
