If it doesn't work#
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| "Url is invalid" | The address isn't complete, or doesn't start with http:// or https://. | Paste the full address. |
| "This field is required" | A required field is empty: the button's address or title, the branding title, or a player or icon link. | Fill it in. |
| "The field value must not exceed 24" | The button title is over 24 characters. | Shorten it. |
| "The field value must not exceed 251" | The button's address is too long. | Use a shorter link. |
| "The field value must not exceed 48" | The branding title is over 48 characters. | Shorten it. |

| "'End Date' can't be less then 'Start Date'" or "'Start Date' can't be greater than 'End Date'" | The dates are the wrong way round. | Make the end date later than the start date. |
| A button isn't on the page | It has Schedule Publishing dates, and today is outside them. | Change or remove the dates. |

Questions#
Can I add an email address or a phone number?
Not as a button: a button's address must start with http:// or https://. Add a link to your contact page instead.
Can I add Threads, WhatsApp or X icons?
The social icons cover Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok, SoundCloud, LinkedIn, Spotify and Pinterest. Use the Twitter icon for your X profile. For anything else, add a link button.
Can I show a button only during a sale?
Yes. Switch on Schedule Publishing for that button and set the start and end dates and times.
How do I change the order of my links?
Drag them by their handle in the preview, then press Update.
