MaxButtons Pro is a WordPress plugin for creating buttons, share buttons, and social icons. Adjust a design in the editor and see the changes in its live preview. Shortcodes place buttons in your content, and let you reuse a design with different text or links. You can make unlimited buttons or copy an existing one as a starting point.

Responsive styling and previews

Set responsive options for different devices and screen sizes. The editor includes color pickers, CSS3 gradients, text and box shadows, and previews against different background colors. Predefined defaults provide a starting design, while per-button custom CSS gives you more styling control.

Pro controls for button content

• Add icons or images and adjust their placement and size. The included Font Awesome 5 collection includes more icon choices.
• Add a second line of text and set its font, size, and placement.
• Choose from the included Google Fonts collection for button text.
• Use WordPress or theme variables in button text and links.
• Search button collections and import or export button configurations.

Ready-to-use button packs and free icons are available for designs. Additional professionally designed button packs are also available, and the described button library contains more than 6,000 designs.

Sharing, social icons, and integrations

Share button sets cover services including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, LinkedIn, Reddit, WhatsApp, and Buffer, with email and print icons. To promote a social profile, select a social icon or create a button, add the profile link, and place it with a shortcode.

MaxButtons Pro integrates with WPBakery Page Builder, Contact Form 7, Beaver Builder, Easy Digital Downloads, and popup builders that open modals. It also works with Gutenberg, Elementor, and SiteOrigin. Google Analytics event tracking helps you view interactions with WordPress buttons in Google Analytics without coding.

Create and place a button

1. Install and activate the extension.
2. In the WordPress admin menu, open the MaxButtons page and pick Add New.
3. Configure the button, complete the required options, and choose Save.

The editor generates a shortcode such as [maxbutton id="17"]. Add it to your content to show the button. You can use a button ID or name, then pass text and URL parameters to reuse the design with different labels and destinations. The window="new" parameter opens the destination in a new window; nofollow="true" adds a rel="nofollow" attribute.
