How in the world do you make the shortcode "buttons" actually link to something? The documentation doesn't show it, and my attempts have failed. I've tried putting the anchor both inside and outside of the button shortcode. When put outside like the example here my anchor gets ignored and the button goes to the page it's on (putting it inside the button codes doesn't work at all):
```
<a href="http://www.example.com"/>
[button size="xl" color="green" text="light"]
Test Button
[/button]
</a>
```

Hello, use this code

<a href="#yourbuttonname">click</a>

<a name="yourbuttonname">[button size="xl" color="green" text="light"]
Test Button
[/button]</a>

Good luck!

I think we had a miscommunication because of the term "anchor." What your code does is not what I'm attempting. I'm trying to HYPERLINK to another page on the website. I want the button to take the visitor to the other page. Sounds easy enough I know. Can't make it work though.

Let's back up... Trying to add code again:
```
<a href="http://www.example.com"/>
[button size="xl" color="green" text="light"]
Test Button
[/button]
</a>
```
This code does NOT link like it should. Please advise!

Good, my apologies...

Found another temporary code for you;

<a class="avia-button light green xl" href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank"><span class="avia-"> hello text </span></a>

Glad you were able to get it figured out. Don't forget you can use the shortcode editor to customize your buttons and that they can have the url and target in the shortcode like this:
[button link="http://google.com" text="grey" window="yes"]Button Title[/button]

Regards,

Devin
