Hi,

This is probably a silly question but I haven’t been able to find an answer to it elsewhere so any help would be appreciated.
I’m using Cornerston to edit my page 60scenes.com and I have placed two ‘cards’ on it to rotate with text. they both come with built in buttons but whenever I try to add the page link or url to the button link field it just doesn’t work. It has the # already in place, so I’ve tried just inputting the page name, or the full hyperlink or the html tags etc and nothing seems to work.
I’m sure I’m probably missing something very simple, but so far I’m getting nowhere with it.

Thanks in advance.

Suzanne

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for writing in! You can just remove the # symbol and input the full link to the URL you want to visit.

for example: say you want to link to Google, just eneter: http://www.google.com. This should work just fine. If not there maybe something conflicting.

You could try testing for a plugin conflict. You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

If this doesn’t solve it: Would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look? To do this, you can make a post with the following info:

– Link to your site
– WordPress Admin username / password
– FTP credentials

Hey folks – This was helpful, but I can’t figure out how to add an email address to a button. I’ve tried “mailto:xyz@domain.com”, and just the plain email address, and I’ve tried it with and without the # sign, but am otherwise stumped. Help?

Sorry – I should clarify that I’m trying to do this in Cornerstone in the WYSIWYG editor.

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in! The original poster was asking how to place an mailto link on the back button of the card element. So the solution is to add mailto:xyz@domain.com on the back button link field.

I’m not sure which element you’re working on, but if it is on the Text element or RAW content element. Your code should be

<a class="x-btn" href="mailto:xyz@domain.com">text here</a>

Hope it helps, Cheers!

Thanks. I should have clarified I wasn’t asking about the Card element. I was asking about the Button element. What’s presented is an “href” field which has a “#” in it. But using “mailto:xyz@domain.com” doesn’t work. Does that help?

Hi there,

Thanks for updating. The above reply also contains the answer for adding link to buttons :

<a class="x-btn" href="mailto:xyz@domain.com">text here</a>

Certainly it should work if you place this correctly – http://prntscr.com/94rs8c

However if you use the Cornerstone Button Element then it should work also – http://prntscr.com/94rsog

Let us know if you face any other issue.

Cheers!

Many thanks — I see now I should have tested the mailto:xyz@domain.com on my phone vs. my browser, where all it does is open up a new browser window. But I use browser-based email, and on my phone, it opens my email app and so I assume it’s working correctly.

Glad it worked 🙂

If you need anything else, please let us know.

Hello,

Is there a way to ensure that the link on the button on a card opens in a new window?

Thanks for your help,
Elaine

Hi,

quick question building from the existing content from this thread. What if i want to link it to page within the web site itself?

preferably i would like to avoid using hard links such as https://www.google.com.au and use something thats a bit more relative e.g. page name. is that possible?

Please let me know.

Thank you

[Christopher]

Hi there,

You can use relative URL, for example if you want to link a button to contact page, instead of using absolute URL which is http://www.yoursite.come/contact-us add /contact-us.

Hope it helps.
