Hi,

I just used this code to create a button that has an alignment opition (source: [post link](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CMS-Development/how-to-center-align-buttons/td-p/419932) 😞

{{ require\_css }}  
\<style\>  
.horz-{{ module.button\_position }}{  
display:flex;  
flex-direction:column;  
flex-wrap:no-wrap;  
justify-content:flex-start;  
align-items: {{ module.button\_position }};  
align-content:center;  
}  
\</style\>  
{{ end\_require\_css}}  
{% if module.button\_link.url.type is equalto ‘EMAIL\_ADDRESS’ %}  
{% set href = ‘mailto:’ ~ module.button\_link.url.href %}  
{% elif module.button\_link.url.href == ‘/’ %}  
{% set href = module.button\_link.url.href %}  
{% else %}  
{% unless (module.button\_link.url.href is string\_containing ‘//’) or !module.button\_link.url.href %}  
{% set href = ‘//’ ~ module.button\_link.url.href %}  
{% else %}  
{% set href = module.button\_link.url.href || ‘’ %}  
{% endunless %}  
{% endif %}

{% set rel = (module.button\_link.open\_in\_new\_tab ? 'noopener ’ : null) ~ (module.button\_link.no\_follow ? ‘nofollow’ : null) %}  
\<div class=“horz-{{module.button\_position}}”\>  
\<{% if module.button\_options.button\_link\_toggle == true %}a href=“{{ href }}” {% else %}button {% endif %} class=“button{% if module.style.button\_type == ‘secondary’ %} button--secondary{% elif module.style.button\_type == ‘simple’ %} button--simple{% endif %}{% if module.style.button\_size == ‘small’ %} button--small{% elif module.style.button\_size == ‘large’ %} button--large{% endif %}{% if module.button\_icon.icon\_position == ‘right’ %} button--icon-right{% endif %}”  
id=“button\_{{ name }}”  
{% if module.button\_link.open\_in\_new\_tab %}target=“\_blank”{% endif %}  
rel=“{{ rel }}”\>

{% if module.button\_options.button\_icon\_toggle == true and module.button\_icon.icon\_field.unicode %}  
{% icon  
extra\_classes=‘button\_\_icon’  
name=‘{{ module.button\_icon.icon\_field.name }}’  
purpose=‘decorative’  
style=‘{{ module.button\_icon.icon\_field.type }}’  
unicode=‘{{ module.button\_icon.icon\_field.unicode }}’  
%}  
{% endif %}  
{{ module.button\_text }}

\</{% if module.button\_options.button\_link\_toggle == true %}a{% else %}button{% endif %}\>  
\</div\>

Now i have a new problem: every time i tried an internal or external link, it doesn’t work and i remain on the same page.

I don’t know how to resolve it.

Im gonna attach here a screenshot of the code
