Hi. I saw a recent post in a forum announcing the launch of embedded HTML for CTAs. This is exactly what we need!I’m running into an issue that I wanted to see if anyone could assist with. The theme I have already has CTA button styling I’d love to mimic. However when I put these classes into the custom CSS classes field, nothing changes. I’m sure I’m doing something wrong (my skills aren’t where I want them to be

**Would someone be able to point me in the right direction to style CTAs I create with CSS styles already in my theme? The documentation I’ve reviewed doesn’t go in depth with this. Thanks in advance!**

Hi @rmoore  
In the field “Custom CSS Classes” you have to enter the classes as you would in html (remove the . and ,). For the correct classes, you need to check which are used in your theme for the CTA / buttons. Try it with that (based on your screenshot):

`btn hs-button`

The middle selector “.btn-cta a” is nested (an “a” tag within any tag with the class “btn-cta”). If your css code relies on that nesting, you would need to manipulate the module where your cta is used and place it inside a div/span with the class “btn-cta”.
