Tried code - didn't work :(

Site URL: https://www.santaspeaking.live

Hello, I'm reading all of this wonderful information, as I am also trying to add multiple buttons to my navigation. However, when I tried to plug in the code (I tried a few from this thread) nothing happened 😞

What am I doing wrong?

I'd like to add 2 buttons to the navigation right next to each other, that are different colors and have a little bit of padding between.

Thanks so much, really appreciate you guys!

Could you point us to some of the code you were trying and didn't work? Without context it is hard to advise you.

There are two main techniques I've seen.

One is to use code of mine to duplicate a call to action button and assign it different titles and urls. Please see the following.

Second is to change navigation links to look like buttons. I think tuanphan has done this a number of times.

Hello! Thanks so much for your quick response. That was the thread I was reading and tried your code from that, but it didn't work. I did see that tuanphan had something about changing navigation links to look like buttons but I'll have to see if I can find the code for that.

Here's the code I tried but didn't work:

{
      
        text : 'enter button text here 1',
        url : 'enter url here 1'
        
        },
      {
      
        text : 'enter button text here 2',
        url : 'enter url here 2'
        
        },

There were a few other strings of code within that thread that I tried but to no avail. 

Is there a difference in plugging in the code directly into the header code (from settings) as opposed to plugging it into the design/custom css section?

There is, some code will only work in one place not the other. 

It kept telling I had a syntax error on line one.

I tried injecting the code in either place (Design/custom css and Settings/advanced/custom code)

A syntax error usually means that somethlng is missing for example, could be  a closing or opening brace } 

Thanks for your input Derricksramdomviews

Derricksrandomviews - Right, makes sense, but that's why I was so confused. I had pasted the code exactly as Creedon had it, and I tried it in both code places.

Look at the placement of the opening brace in the code snippet that you posted compared to Creedon's. Yours should match his exactly.
