Use Custom Styles for Button
Enabling this option will reveal various button customization settings that you can use to change the appearance of your module’s button.
Button Text Size
This setting can be used to increase or decrease the size of the text within the button. The button will scale as the text size is increased and decreased.
Button Text Color
By default, buttons assume your theme accent color as defined in the Theme Customizer. This option allows you to assign a custom text color to the button in this module. Select your custom color using the color picker to change the button’s color.
Button Background Color
By default, buttons have a transparent background color. This can be changed by selected your desired background color from the color picker.
Button Border Width
All Divi buttons have a 2px border by default. This border can be increased or decreased in size using this setting. Borders can be removed by inputting a value of 0.
Button Border Color
By default, button borders assume your theme accent color as defined in the Theme Customizer. This option allows you to assign a custom border color to the button in this module. Select your custom color using the color picker to change the button’s border color.
Button Border Radius
Border radius affects how rounded the corners of your buttons are. By default, buttons in Divi has a small border radius that rounds the corners by 3 pixels. You can decrease this to 0 to create a square button or increase it significantly to create buttons with circular edges.
Button Letter Spacing
Letter spacing affects the space between each letter. If you would like to increase the space between each letter in your button text, use the range slider to adjust the space or input your desired spacing size into the input field to the right of the slider. The input fields supports different units of measurement, which means you can input “px” or “em” following your size value to change its unit type.
Button Font
You can change the font of your button text by selecting your desired font from the dropdown menu. Divi comes with dozens of great fonts powered by Google Fonts. By default, Divi uses the Open Sans font for all text on your page. You can also customize the style of your text using the bold, italic, all-caps and underline options.
Add Button Icon
Disabled this setting will remove icons from your button. By default, all Divi buttons display an arrow icon on hover.
Button Icon
If icons are enabled, you can use this setting to pick which icon to use in your button. Divi has various icons to choose from.
Button Icon Color
Adjusting this setting will change the color of the icon that appears in your button. By default, the icon color is the same as your buttons’ text color, but this setting allows you to adjust the color independently.
Button Icon Placement
You can choose to have your button icon display on the left or the right side of your button.
Only Show Icon On Hover for Button
By default, button icons are only displayed on hover. If you would like the icon to always appear, disable this setting.

Button Advanced Options
Within the advanced tab, you will find options that more experienced web designers might find useful, such as custom CSS and HTML attributes. Here you can apply custom CSS to any of the module’s many elements. You can also apply custom CSS classes and IDs to the module, which can be used to customize the module within your child theme’s style.css file.
CSS ID
Enter an optional CSS ID to be used for this module. An ID can be used to create custom CSS styling, or to create links to particular sections of your page.
CSS Class
Enter optional CSS classes to be used for this module. A CSS class can be used to create custom CSS styling. You can add multiple classes, separated with a space. These classes can be used in your taxPRO Child Theme or within the Custom CSS that you add to your page or your website using the Divi Theme Options or Divi Builder Page Settings.
Custom CSS
Custom CSS can also be applied to the module and any of the module’s internal elements. Within the Custom CSS section, you will find a text field where you can add custom CSS directly to each element. CSS input into these settings are already wrapped within style tags, so you need only enter CSS rules separated by semicolons.
Button Relationship
Here you can define a custom rel attribute for the button, such as rel=”nofollow.” Divi lets you pick from all of the most common link attributes.
Visibility
This option lets you control which devices your module appears on. You can choose to disable your module on tablets, smart phones or desktop computers individually. This is useful if you want to use different modules on different devices, or if you want to simplify the mobile design by eliminating certain elements from the page.
