This function cannot be used on the front end of the site, it is only available when loading the administration screens.

Parametr $type can be a single value, or a space separated list of values, or an array of values. The values determine the HTML classes of the button.

• If $type is ‘delete’, the classes are ‘button-secondary delete’.
• Otherwise the first class is ‘button’, followed by any of these in order of appearance:
  • type value ‘primary’ makes class ‘button-primary’
  • type value ‘small’ makes class ‘button-small’
  • type value ‘large’ makes class ‘button-large’
  • type value ‘secondary’ or ‘button-secondary’ is ignored (the ‘button’ class has the styling)
  • any other type value ‘foo’ makes the class ‘foo’

For example, the default $type ‘primary’ results in a button with HTML classes ‘button button-primary’.

This function does not return a value. The HTML for the button is output directly to the browser.

Uses the related function get_submit_button() , which returns the button as a string instead of echoing it. It has a different default $type, 'primary large', resulting in the HTML classes 'button button-primary button-large'.
