If your button is not showing up check the following:
- Make sure you didn't copy the quotations above.
- Make sure you put the classes into the classes box and not the title box. It's easy to confuse them.
- Check to make sure you have both the btn class and the btn-primary class. If you only have one the button will appear but without the correct styling.
- Check to make sure you have space between btn and btn-primary.
