Having a strange issue on a site I'm developing with the button shortcode. While writing the post I had previously used a "#" as a placeholder for the link, but once I updated this link, it keeps the "#" that I originally used, even after clearing the cache in the browser. Furthermore, any other button I create using the button shortcode on any other page takes "#" as a link no matter what.

Here's a spot where I'm testing this on my big theme install: http://www.queenofthesun.com/2010/11/test-page/

I thought WP 3 doesn't need cache flushed, but could this be solved by doing that?

BTW, I am running Wordpress 3.01 and Bigfeature theme version 1.4.0.1 with a modified Topart 1.02 child theme where my CSS modifications are.

this is the code produced:

<a href="/press/"></a><a href="#">this is a link with button shortcode to ‘press’ page</a>

do you wrap the anchor tag around the shortcode? or add the url in the link parameter? If no link parameter added the # will be used by default.

Thanks. I actually just figured it out, my bad. I wasn't putting the link in the short code parameter -- because on the example page, I was most interested in the download button, and probably copy and pasted from that example here but it didn't have the link in there in the example, but I literally took it and put an anchor around it.

got to be like this:
[button type="download" link="http://test.com"]text[/button]
