Hey guys, is the line above correct? For some reason it just won't hyperlink! Help please!

EDIT: Just tested without the button. On regular hyperlinked text the link works, however, as soon as I add the button it is broken. What is the proper way to hyperlink a button? Thank you!

      Jason you are beyond awesome... Guess I need to learn more about this. My question now is: what is the point of the button my theme provides if it doesn't work at all? Been testing it for a couple hours now(waste of time) but it just seems to loop.

      Do you know of a way that I can use my theme provided button to hyperlink?

      Thanks a ton Jason! Learning lots!

    ah ok try this one:

    [fruitful_btn link="Google"]Click me[/fruitful_btn]

    or maybe

    [fruitful_btn type="link" link="Google"]Click me[/fruitful_btn]

    if those dont work then it seems the theme's shortcodes are not working for some reason, could be a conflict with the new version of WP or another plugin or theme.
