Placing Buttons

I’m trying to place two buttons directly next to each other but can’t seem to figure out how. Closest I can seem to come is placing them in two small columns next to each other but that’s not exactly what I’m looking for.

On the visual editor for BB, is there a way to change the font size type to Pixels instead of points?

Also it would be great if there were some absolute/relative positioning options.

Hey Cody! Sorry you’re having trouble. Unfortunately, there is no way to put two buttons in the same column without writing some custom code. Depending on your comfort level with HTML/CSS you could do this with an HTML module. You can copy/paste the markup for one button, then give experiment with giving it a ~50% width and either floating it or making it display inline.

For the visual editor, that’s WordPress’ standard text editor. I usually pop into the HTML editing mode and adjust the font size from points to pixels. You could check and see if there’s a plugin available that will do it globally.

I like the absolute/relative positioning idea! You could add that as a feature request on our user voice page. I do worry that it would complicate our UI too much, though. We’d probably recommend just doing that with CSS. You can add a class or id to any row/module and target those from a CSS file.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Ok, thanks for the quick reply.

Will have to figure something out for the buttons…

Was able to change pt to pixels via a TinyMCE based plugin.

As for absolute/relative positioning. In the advanced section it could work similar to the padding and margins. Presumably always make the row relative and then the individual items inside it would be toggle absolute and there could be a top, left, right, bottom boxes for pixel destinations. Just an idea.

One last question for you, is there a content type within Beaver Builder that allows you to place a specific background color behind all of the container?

Nevermind on the last question, editing colum background color will work just fine!

Yup! I was hoping that would work. We’ll definitely keep the positioning suggestions in mind. Thanks again for taking the time to reach out! :slight_smile:

Let me know if you get hung up at all with the button positioning. I’ll do my best to help out.

+1 for a button panel module so we can put buttons together
