I am trying to create a custom button shortcode, with multiple color and size options. However, when I try to use the shortcode in my post it isn’t showing up.

My Function

function btn($atts, $content = null) {
   extract(shortcode_atts(array('link' => '#', 'color' => 'teal' , 'size' => 'large'), $atts));
   return '<a class="btn '.$size.'" href="'.$link.'" style="background:'.$color.';"><span>' . do_shortcode($content) . '</span></a>';
}

How I am using the shortcode 

[btn color="blue" size="large"]Button Text[/btn]

.btn:active{-webkit-transform:translateY(1px); -moz-transform:translateY(1px)}

  1. How about this?

    <?php
function btn($atts, $content = null) {
   extract(shortcode_atts(array('link' => '#', 'color' => 'teal' , 'size' => 'large'), $atts));
   return '<a class="btn '.$size.'" href="'.$link.'" style="background:'.$color.';"><span>' . $content . '</span></a>';
}

add_shortcode('btn', 'btn');
?>
