Buttons in legacy campaigns
Before you start
This article covers how to edit buttons in legacy campaigns. For an easier and more versatile campaign builder, check out our article on the Studio designer.
Open the campaign editor
When making changes, you'll want to work from the Design tab so you can select elements directly and make changes right on the page. To access it:
- Open the campaign you want to edit
- Select the Pages tab
- Open the page you want to edit
- Select the Design tab
Edit buttons
To edit a button, select it directly in the preview. This opens the tools for that section where you can change the button style and color. To edit button text, select the button in the preview and start typing.
Edit button color
You can edit a button’s color by going to the Design tab and selecting the button you want to edit in the preview. This will open the editing tools for that section where you can find the button’s color circle.
Now, you can enter the hex code or use the color picker to adjust the button’s color.
Donation page buttons
The Primary Color on your campaign dictates the button color on Donation pages. Where you can change the primary color depends on your campaign type.
Tip: Avoid white as a primary color. White buttons are not visible on white backgrounds.
Donation page campaigns
To edit the primary color of a donation page campaign, go to the Details tab and select Theme in your menu.
Other campaign types
On all other campaign types, you can change the primary color by going to your Landing Page’s Setup tab and scrolling down to Primary Color.
How do I hide a button?
You can’t completely remove buttons, but you can make them transparent so they are not visible on the page. To hide a button:
- Within the design tab, select the button
- Select the color circle for the button
- Enter RGBA (0, 0, 0, 0) into the hex color field
- Change the button style to any of the Wire options and save changes
Note: If you want to hide the donation button on an event campaign, you can turn off the donation page in the settings.
Edit button text
To edit a button’s text, go to the Design tab and select the button you want to edit. Then, you can start typing and your edits will appear right away.
Frequently asked questions
Why do some buttons have different editing options?
We designed specific tools for each button depending on where they are located in your campaign. For example, some buttons give you the option to hide them. But your main donation buttons don't give the option, because they're typically the main call to action.
Why should I customize buttons?
The best donation buttons provide a strong call to action that inspires support for your cause. They also help your supporters understand the impact of their donation, which makes them more likely to donate.
That’s not to say that standard “Donate” or “Give Now” buttons are ineffective. These are still a strong match for nonprofits that may not be able to communicate their impact in 3-4 words. But if you need any help writing, take a look at our professional writers' advice.
Can I change a donate button into a fundraise button?
Not at this time.
