Willing WordPress Plugin Testers Needed :)

Hi everyone :)

I have made a plugin that requires a WP theme using a Bootstrap Framework.

The Plugin is based around adding Buttons and Icons all from one Plugin. I have not wrote and docs yet before I do Im looking to see if this is worth while putting out there as I built this for my site and have expanded it as I became very useful.

If you would be happy to have a go that would be awesome!

As I mentioned for now you would have to already be running a bootstrap based theme for this to work but I will have this optional by the time the plugin is launched fully.

I realize I have been brief on what the plugin does and why i find it so useful.

  1. Create as many buttons at once as you'd like.

  2. Add Icons from Bootstraps Glyphicons or ALL of Font Awesomes Icons 4.3.

  3. Icons can be used on their own with now text and go before or after the text, all with a click of a box.

  4. The Icons are added with a generated span so you can copy and past the Icons wherever you want to in your editor on any post or page.

  5. (MAIN FOCUS) - The buttons you create have the opportunity to be wrapped in a div controlled by flexbox. This was my main goal! 1 main reason for this is so when Im adding buttons through the editor I don't have to add classes or switch between TEXT and Visual all the time.

  6. With No. 5 you get both col and row layout along with all of flexbox's justify content options.

The Plugin CSS for the buttons styles is Seen here on CodePen along with the options of your button layout(ignore my test form on the right :) )!

This really does save lots of time and when used with BS Shortcodes Grid as well as Black Studio TinyMCE Widget so you have the visual editor in your widgets you can really use this plugin for all your social links, call outs, read more buttons, Icons after text, Icons as buttons and much more.

Every day I find something else this plugin could save me time on and because it loads font awesome you can add the classes for them icons to your menus and more!

So dont be shy, this plugin is and will always be free and any one that want to help is more than welcome the main theme of the plugin will be to work with bootstrap and flexbox :)
