How to Place Two Buttons Side by Side in Highlevel

By default, HighLevel doesn’t allow you to place two buttons side by side in the same column without affecting the entire layout. If you try to align buttons horizontally, it forces all elements—headlines, text, and images—to also align in a single row, breaking your design.

Follow this quick guide to fix it using HigherFrame's custom CSS.

HigherFrame

🚀 Easily Align Buttons Side-by-Side with a Simple Setting!

HighLevel’s builder stacks buttons by default. With HigherFrame’s Side Buttons feature, you can quickly align them left, center, or right—no complicated coding required!

Step 1: Add the CSS to the Custom CSS Panel

1️⃣ Click the Paintbrush Icon in the top toolbar (Custom CSS Panel)

2️⃣ Copy and paste the CSS below into the panel

/* SIDE BUTTONS - LEFT ALIGNED */

.side-buttons-left .vertical.inner {

display: inline-block !important; /* Ensure proper column behavior */

}

.side-buttons-left .vertical.inner .c-button {

display: inline-block !important;

margin-left: 0 !important; /* Remove margin from first button */

}

.side-buttons-left .vertical.inner .c-button + .c-button {

margin-left: 10px !important; /* Add spacing between buttons */

}

/* SIDE BUTTONS - CENTER ALIGNED */

.side-buttons-center .vertical.inner {

display: block !important; /* Keep default stacked layout */

text-align: center !important; /* Center text & buttons */

}

.side-buttons-center .vertical.inner .c-button {

display: inline-block !important;

margin-left: 0 !important;

}

.side-buttons-center .vertical.inner .c-button + .c-button {

margin-left: 10px !important;

}

/* SIDE BUTTONS - RIGHT ALIGNED */

.side-buttons-right .vertical.inner {

display: block !important;

text-align: right !important; /* Align text & buttons to the right */

}

.side-buttons-right .vertical.inner .c-button {

display: inline-block !important;

margin-left: 0 !important;

}

.side-buttons-right .vertical.inner .c-button + .c-button {

margin-left: 10px !important;

}

/* CENTER COLUMN - VERTICALLY CENTER CONTENT */

.center-column .c-column {

align-self: center !important; /* Vertically centers the column */

flex: 0 1 auto !important; /* Allows for proper width control */

}

let afterClass = match[1];

let targetElement = document.getElementById(afterClass) || document.querySelector("." + afterClass);

if (targetElement && !targetElement.contains(element) && element.previousElementSibling !== targetElement) {

targetElement.insertAdjacentElement("afterend", element);

element.classList.add("moved-already");

console.log(`Moved: ${element} after ${afterClass}`);

}

}

});

}

function removeDuplicates() {

document.querySelectorAll("div.inner").forEach((innerDiv) => {

let seenIds = new Set();

Array.from(innerDiv.children).forEach((child) => {

if (child.id) {

if (seenIds.has(child.id)) {

child.remove();

} else {

seenIds.add(child.id);

}

}

});

});

}

// Initial move and cleanup

moveElements();

setTimeout(removeDuplicates, 50);

// Watch for only relevant updates

const observer = new MutationObserver((mutations) => {

let shouldMove = false;

mutations.forEach((mutation) => {

if ([...mutation.addedNodes].some((node) => node.nodeType === 1 && node.matches('[class*="move-after-"]'))) {

shouldMove = true;

}

});

if (shouldMove) {

moveElements();

setTimeout(removeDuplicates, 50);

}

});

observer.observe(document.body, { childList: true, subtree: true });

});

</script>

3️⃣ Save to apply changes

Step 2: Apply a Custom Class to Your Column

1️⃣ Click on the Column that contains the buttons

2️⃣ Open the Advanced Settings

3️⃣ Scroll to CSS Class and enter one of the following:

🔹 For Left-Aligned Buttons: side-buttons-left

🔹 For Center-Aligned Buttons: side-buttons-center

🔹 For Right-Aligned Buttons: side-buttons-right

4️⃣ Save & Preview! Your buttons will now align properly 🎉

💡 Bonus: Vertically Center the Column

Need your buttons (or other content) to be vertically centered inside the row?

Add this class to the column along with your alignment class: center-column

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Got Questions? Here’s How to Fix Common Issues!

Why are my buttons still stacking vertically?

Make sure that the side-buttons class is applied to the parent column, not the individual buttons. The class must be set on the column containing the buttons for the CSS to take effect.

How do I center the content vertically inside the row?

Apply the "center-column" class to the parent row' This ensures that the entire button column remains centered vertically within the row.

Can I add more than two buttons?

Yes! The CSS supports multiple buttons. Just add more buttons inside the side-buttons column, and they will align properly with equal spacing.
