Hello,

I found the information about how to set an external link for the Apply Now button, however, it doesn’t let me utilize a button-like display format for the job attribute. The only option that works for the link to be functional is %value%, but it shows the full URL text instead of letting me just display the words “Apply Now”. Can you please tell me how this can be fixed? Thank you very much for your time.

Hi,

It is possible with an additional CSS tweak.

Please check this doc as an example of how to create such a button: [How to add a WhatsApp button - HivePress Help Center](https://help.hivepress.io/article/141-how-to-add-a-whatsapp-button)

Hope it helps.

Thank you! I was able to add the HTML code for a button in the attribute settings for the display format to make it a link with a custom label. Thanks so much! Here’s the screenshot of that in case anyone else needs help doing this:
