Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

WP PlugIndex currently records BD Buttons version 1.0.5 as active, updated 2y ago and tested up to WordPress 6.4.
Overview
About this plugin
BD Buttons was developed to empower the every day person to be able to buttonize any link with an attention grabbing design.
For my day job, I had a location’s site that needed to have a way to create their own eye-catching call to action link design. Other work sites also utilize these types of catchy link styles, so I came up with a plugin that provides an easy to use interface for creating your own link “button” styles, and an even easier way to get them deployed on any page or post (including custom post types).
Comes with 7 default link buttons, and allows you to customize your own color combinations, via a color palette or HTML color codes (if you already know what color combinations you want).

Features:
Built into the Visual Editor, just type a few things, click a few things and your link is stylized.
Easy to use admin interface for creating your own unique link button color combinations.
CSS and “BD Button” configuration reside inside wp-content/uploads, to avoid permission issues.

TROUBLESHOOTING:
Upon activation, the “bdbuttons” folder inside the main plugin folder gets moved to wp-content/uploads. If this fails, you can manually move that folder over. It’ll need to be either owned by the Apache user, or the entire folder needs to be CHMOD’d to 777, so that the two files (one.css and one.txt) can be web-writeable. No PHP code and no JS code can be executed directly from either file, FYI.
On some systems, the CSS file is cached. You will need to clear your server’s cache to reflect any changes you make via custom link button additions.
