shortcode edit for directing sales to subdomain?

[SemmelweisReturns]

Hi …

I seem to recall seeing instructions about how to edit the shortcode to redirect a customer on my top domain (www.selfcareadvisor.net) to a training subdomain (www.training.selfcareadvisor.net.)

Can’t find those instructions today. Help? Pretty sure this is basic … embarrassingly so …

thnx!

Were you thinking of this?

You’d use an HTML button on the first site, with an Add To Cart or Buy Now link to another.

Yeah, that looks promising. I’ll check back again and report in when I’ve got it working.

Thanks!

Well … I’ve got the plug-in installed … and I’ve tried nine ways from Sunday to get this code, in a textfield, to work:

< a href=”https://www.training.selfcareadvisor.net/?wp_eStore_buy_now=1&#8243; > <img src=”https://selfcareadvisor.net/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/add_to_cart.png”>Add to Cart </ a>

(note: the weird extra spaces in the “< a” tags are not in what I’ve been using on the site; they’re only there because otherwise this post was dropping the code when I saved it.)

I’ve tried adding <p> tags … I can get that “Add to Cart” text to show up styled as a regular link and there’s a generic placeholder image just in front of it …

I’ve tried without the text … where upon no button appears at all … I’ve tried putting the button image in the div’s background … I’ve tried it with the text … which seems to be the best so far, but still …

the best I can get is this error message:

This site can’t be reached. unexpectedly closed the connection.

thoughts? Thanks!

Do you have an actual subdomain record called [www.training.selfcareadvisor.net] in your DNS?

The “www.” counts as a quaternary (4th level) subdomain. Try removing it.

That was it! Thanks!

And I was able to give up trying to build an html button that I could insert into a text field and do what I wanted it to do … that change enabled me to use the built-in button function in my theme … YAY!
