ATTENTION
You may encounter an Error message right after installation. This will only appear once and will not be repeated. I havn´t found a solution yet to avoid it from showing up. Any tips on how to get rid of it is higly appreciated.
If your prior version was 1.0, backup own added custom icons before upgrading. They will be deleted.
ATTENTION When upgrading to version 1.4 an angry error message about a js-path that doesn´t exist will appear. This has to do with a change in the way the js-files are named, to make it work in a network invironment. Just ignore this message, it will only appear once. If it for some reason still comes up, resave your buttons and it will definately not bother you again.
That you can do under 'Settings' in the plugins menu.
I have created a button but it is acting very strangely when trying to use it in the Visual Editor. Nothing happens when clicking on it in the Visual Editor. When trying in the Text Editor the code shows but can disappear again when flipping back and forth between the Editors. Why is this?
This strange behavior with disappearing code may come up when you have pasted content to the Visual Editor from a pdf or word file and after that tries to use the Button. When pasting content directly from a pdf, unwanted invisible content may follow the pasted content messing up the Button code when trying to add it. The solution is to copy the pdf content to a simple text-editor (like Notepad) before copying it to the Visual Editor. When doing so, you clean the content before putting it into the Visual Editor.
About the Button CSS not visible in the Visual Editor (you can´t se any effect of the button in the Visual Editor). Cleaning the Browsers Cache should do the trick.
