Where: navigation bar on the dashboard and create/edit page

What: The navigation links have nested <button>s; this is invalid HTML and can cause usability issues. It seems as though this is done purely for styling, can you confirm/elaborate?

Recommendations: Remove the <button> elements

You can try this for yourself with the W3C validator if you set it to “textfield” and input:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="">
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href="#foo"><button>bar</button></a>
</body>
</html>
