Willing Test Pilots? I am currently making my first wordpress plugin and would love some testers :)

Hi everyone,

After doing the course on bootstrap to wordpress and now my own site is developed in that fashion, I thought there were a few things id like to do.

I have been making this plugin for a few days getting to grips with different things.

The plugin makes shortcodes added through the tinymce editor in wordpress.

Those shortcodes add bootstrap style buttons(nothing knew I know).

My twist on it is that there positioning is handled via flexbox with both col and row flexbox layout options, hopefully taking away all the need for margin calculations on something that should be so simple.

Currently you would already need bootstrap used as your framework to get the button styles so I am hoping lots of you have a local install of the bootstrap to wp course site raring to go :) However there is lots of functionality still needed to be added but I want to address the popularity now before putting extensive time into what would be my documentation and also a blog on how I done this.

As you can imagine with this still being in dev there is no documentation, I am looking for feedback on the functionality and if you spot any bugs / errors. I suppose I would have to email the kind folks that would have a go with it a zip unless you know of a better option.

You would simply have to unzip and move into your plugins directory then activate. No settings page yet just go to your page or post and look for "BF Button" this would or should pop open a modal and get you going :)

If you are interested let me know and I would give more details :)

This works great on my local install with the bs shortcodes plugin as you can use there grid in the editor then drop my buttons in your desired col.
