    Hello,
    I’m trying to do something really simple but can’t get it to work, it’s so simple I’m assuming I’m missing something but I haven’t found any info on the forum or the web.

    I’m trying to use the button shortcode to create an external link
    [av_button label='Plus de détail sur l éthique du Colibri' link='http://www.colibris-lemouvement.org/colibris/lethique-du-colibri' link_target='_blank' color='theme-color' custom_bg='#444444' custom_font='#ffffff' size='small' position='left' icon_select='yes' icon='ue835' font='entypo-fontello']
    but the link attribute always has the website url in it and generates this :
    http://www.colibris-avignon.org/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.colibris-lemouvement.org/colibris/lethique-du-colibri%22%3Ehttp://www.colibris-lemouvement.org/colibris/lethique-du-colibri%3C/a%3E
    How do you make a simple external link (I had to manually add the url into the shortcode) ?

    Also, impossible to add a : ‘ how can I escape this letter ?

    Thanks for your help

    Hey EA Photo!

    Thank you for using the theme!

    I tested the shortcodes on my end and it works fine. If you don’t mind, we would like to see the actual page with the button.

    Regards,

    Thank you for your reply Ismael.
    Here is the page http://www.colibris-avignon.org/colibris/mouvement-colibris/ also note the link should read “Plus de détail sur l’éthique du Colibri” with an ‘

    Am I missing something ?!? Wherever there is a link to be added on one of the shortcode I get this http://www.colibris-avignon.org/kriesi.jpg
    If I click “manually”, the link becomes http://www.colibris-avignon.org/manually
    If I click “post”, the link becomes http://www.colibris-avignon.org/post

    I think another input is missing here, I tested a few browsers, no difference ????

    Thanks for your help with this.

    Hi!

    Thank you for the update.

    I’m sorry but when I click the button, the url looks like this: http://www.colibris-avignon.org/colibris/mouvement-colibris/%3Ca?PHPSESSID=l65dc072t1t02kdrln7r0bfor7%20href=%22http://www.colibris-lemouvement.org/colibris/lethique-du-colibri%22%3Ehttp://www.colibris-lemouvement.org/colibris/lethique-du-colibri%3C/a%3E

    If you don’t mind, please create the button from scratch. Deactivate all plugins, see if the button works. Download the latest version from your themeforest account then update the theme via FTP. Please refer to this link: http://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/updating-your-theme-files/

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    Thank you,
    Updating from 2.6.3 to 2.6.4 fixed the issue thank you very much.

    Last thing on this topic, any way to have the apostrophe not break the code [ ‘ ] ? They are pretty common in french.
    Right now I used [ ’ ] instead of [ ‘ ] but other admins will have troubles with this for sure.

    Let me know if I should add a topic to feature request if you don’t know of another work around.

    Thanks for your help

    Hi!

    You can try using double apostrophes to enclosure the attributes values:

    [av_button label="Plus de détail sur l éthique du Colibri"]
