DIYBUTTON PACK INSTALLATION by Alex Mangini, for DIYthemes readers Grab the HTML & short codes for these buttons here: http://diythemes.com/thesis/30-free-css3-buttons-code/ ---------------------------------------- Getting these buttons up on your site is easy. Because they were primarily made in CSS3, there are barely any images. The only button that requires use of an image is the arrow button (http://diythemes.com/thesis/30-free-css3-buttons-code/#buttons_arrow). The instructions to using these buttons on your site are below. ---------------------------------------- ADDING CSS To add the button CSS to your site, open the file button.css you received in the download and paste it into custom.css in Thesis. You can get to the custom.css file by logging into your WP dashboard, going to Thesis - Custom File Editor or logging into FTP and going to root/wp-content/themes/thesis_183/custom/ Once you add the CSS, save and upload the file to your server. You can now use the HTML version of any button listed here: http://diythemes.com/thesis/30-free-css3-buttons-code/ ---------------------------------------- ENABLING SHORTCODES To enable the short code versions for these buttons, open up custom_functions.php in Thesis and paste the contents of the file shortcode.php into it. The custom_functions.php file is in the same directory as the CSS file. You can now use the shortcode versions of these buttons as well in posts, pages and widgets: http://diythemes.com/thesis/30-free-css3-buttons-code/ ---------------------------------------- ICON BUTTONS To use the icon buttons, upload the /fonts/ folder into your /custom/ folder in Thesis. Once you upload the fonts, you can use any icon from this page as text: http://www.justbenicestudio.com/studio/websymbols/ Each icon output is based off of a different letter in the alphabet. To pick what icon you want to use, follow the URL above and pick. If I wanted to create an orange button for my RSS link, I'd go to the link above and find the RSS icon. To use the RSS icon, I need to use the letter "r" So my codes would look like this: html: r Subscribe to my RSS feed shortcode: [button type="icon" icon="r" color="orange" link="#"]Red Button[/button] ---------------------------------------- ARROW BUTTON To use the arrow button, make sure you upload the image from the /images/ folder you received in the download into the IMAGES folder in Thesis
