About: Alex Kiziah

okay not sure why that went through in a weird way. basically just put

open bracket + raw + closed bracket at the start of your short code, followe by open bracket + /raw + closed bracket at the end of your shortocde.

Didn’t display right in the above example for some reason.

Oh and thanks Alec for sticking with me and helping out a ton.

Hope this helps anyone else who comes across this same problem!

I triple checked everything in the setup. Went through every step again, watched the youtube videos as well just to make sure I was doing it right.

I’ll fix the visual aspect later if I can get the functionality of it fixed.

Any ideas what I should try next?

When I generate the shortcode it says this snippet of code will eventually generate this (or something like this depending on parameters I’m allowed to choose)

and though I’m no coding master, it seems clear to me that there are a3 p3 and t3 values in there when buttons are generated.

What’s also ironic is I’m using the same theme that s2member is using / recommended and I’m still having problems haha. Oh well.

Thanks for all your help so far, hopefully we’ll get through this.
