How to Create a Custom Set of Action Buttons

Hubbub automatically creates a default set (also called a pattern) of Action Buttons that you can customize. However, you may want to create additional sets for different use cases—such as placing a unique set near your recipe card, header, or within the content of your post.

This guide will walk you through creating a reusable custom set of Action Buttons.

Create a New Action Button Pattern #

  • In your WordPress dashboard, go to Hubbub → Action Buttons
  • Click the “View All Patterns” button
  • Click “Add Pattern” to create a new set
  • In the editor, add the Hubbub Action Buttons block
    • The quickest way is to type: /action and select the block
  • Add and customize the buttons you want included in this set
  • Click Save

Add Your Custom Action Buttons to Your Site #

Once your pattern is created, you can place it anywhere on your site using one of the following methods:

Option 1: Using the Block Editor #

  • Open any post or page
  • Add your saved Action Button pattern using the block inserter
  • Select your custom pattern from the list

Option 2: Using a Shortcode #

The second option is to insert the Action Buttons via a shortcode.

Lastly, you can insert a reusable Action Buttons pattern anywhere using a shortcode.
