Editing buttons in WordPress can involve changes to the text, color, size, and/or the URL they point to. Here is a basic guide on how you can edit buttons in WordPress:
Edit Buttons in the Block Editor (Gutenberg):
Edit Button Text and Link:
- Go to the page or post editor.
- Click the button you want to edit.
- Directly in the button block, you will be able to change the text.
- In the block toolbar, you can change the URL the button points to.
Button Style and Color:
- With the button block selected, go to the settings panel on the right side.
- Here you can change the style of the button (fill, outline, etc.)
- You can also change the colors of the button's text and background.
Add Additional CSS:
- If you want to add additional styles, you can add an additional CSS class in the "Advanced" section of the block settings panel.
- You can then add custom CSS rules in the WordPress customizer or in your child theme's style.css file.
Edit Buttons in a Page Builder (Ex. Elementor, Divi):
If you are using a page builder, the process for editing buttons may vary. Here is a general example:
Edit Button Text and Link:
- Open the page with the page builder.
- Click the button you want to edit.
- In the editing window, you will be able to change the text and URL of the button.
Button Style:
- Still with the button selected, look for the style or design options.
- Here you can modify the color, size, typography, and more.
Additional CSS:
- Many builders allow you to add additional CSS directly to the button widget.
- You can also add CSS in the theme customization options.
Edit Buttons in Theme:
If the button you want to edit is in a part of the theme (such as the header or footer), you may need to:
- Go to "Appearance" > "Customize" and look for options related to the buttons.
- Review the theme options in the WordPress admin area.
- Edit the theme files directly (it is recommended to do this in a child theme to avoid losing changes when updating).
Recommendations:
- It is always advisable to make a backup before making significant changes to your website.
- Use a child theme if you plan to make direct changes to the theme files to avoid problems in future updates.
