How To Insert Shortcode Less Buttons In WordPress?

In general most WordPress button plugins provides you shortcodes for inserting various kinds of buttons in a post, page and other custom post types. In this tutorial we are discussing about a completely different plugin which provides you a visual way of adding CSS buttons inside the post editor screen and to your themes.

And instead of displaying shortcodes in your visual editor screen, the plugin inserts real, styled buttons and makes the process of adding buttons more natural. This way you can easily know what buttons you have inserted in your post and where.

To start using it in your WordPress site, first makes sure you have updated your WordPress installation to newer version of WordPress. The plugin doesn’t works nicely with older WP versions, the versions released before WordPress 3.9.
