Social Icons won't open new window
3 replies · Started by troyw on February 10, 2022
Hi team,
I have a small problem with custom post pages not opening social media links in a new window.
I'm pretty sure that I may need to add target="_blank" somewhere, but can't find where to add this.
Any ideas how I can force the social icons to open in new window?
Thanks
Hi troyw,
Without custom Javascript, this is only doable via GenerateBlocks Pro.
With GenerateBlocks Pro, you may set the dynamic link to “Post” for your Content Template Block Element.
See this as reference: https://share.getcloudapp.com/xQuzJy9g
Then, you may set it to “Open link in a new tab”.
Kindly see: https://share.getcloudapp.com/L1uWEq4v
For Buttons, it is doable with just the free GenerateBlocks plugin.

All fixed.
I had to add target="_blank" into my custom Social Media PHP File
