Hi all, new shopify site https://lymmskatepark.myshopify.com/
I have the ride theme and followed various tutorials to make buttons link to an external site
anybody out there with a solution?
thanks
Iain
Hey there @iainpg ! Thanks for taking the time to write in the Community! Nice to meet you!
I’d love to help you with working out the external website link situation you’re running into here! I just have a few questions I’d like to ask before we dig in further:
- What sort of links were you looking to add? Are these links to social media accounts, or something different?
- What tutorials have you looked at to help you achieve this functionality? I noticed you’re screenshot involves some theme coding - are the tutorials you looked at revolving around the coding of your theme?
Please, get back to me when you can with the requested information. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for your reply!
Hi I am looking to link to
A Donation Page (we are a charity) https://www.gofundme.com/f/LymmSkatepark
An external Petition page https://www.change.org/p/local-councillors-lymm-skatepark-upgrade
I am using the ride theme and initially pasted the button link in the page link using the online editor , i have just ran this process again and it works 
previously I followed this article

Hey again, @iainpg . Thanks for following up with me!
Super happy to hear that the links are working for you now! Your website is looking great, and it’s honestly one of the cleanest designs I’ve seen for a page devoted to acts of charity and community engagement - you should be proud!
I spent some time exploring your site and had a good time reading through your information about your mission to bring action sports to your community, and also get that sports facility built! I have some feedback I wanted to share with you, as I think it may help with converting donations and informing visitors!
I always recommend this to folks that have a cool business or great reasons for what they’re doing; you should look into building an ‘About Us’ page specifically for sharing information about your organization’s mission! I know that you share this info on your home page, but having another page strictly devoted to providing this information to visitors will help them relate to your cause, and also help them recognize the passion behind such a project! I have a resource for you here that may help you in building such a page!
