Hi there,
according to

How to get a Menu Item (custom Link) open in a new window

i have a link in my footer menu, which i wan’t to open in a blank tab. I checked the box “Open up in new Tab” in Menu-Settings.

But after clicking on “ChurchTools” in Footer, it opens up the link as well in the new-tab and also in the main-tab.

Tested on desktop and mobile (android) google chrome & firefox.
Whats wrong?

Hey @kevin_hermann,

I see the issue in your site. But, this does not happen on my even I copied your link to my test site. There’s something in your site causing this. Would you mind testing for a plugin and scripts conflict? You can do this by deactivating all third party plugins, and seeing if the problem remains. If it’s fixed, you’ll know a plugin caused the problem, and you can narrow down which one by reactivating them one at a time.

If that does not help, please give us access to your WordPress admin and FTP in a Secure Note.

Please note though that we might deactivate plugins and scripts so if that is not possible to do in your live site, please copy your site over to a staging server so we could freely troubleshoot.

Thanks.

Hi there, thanks for quick answer,
unfortunately the problem hasn’t been solved,
but i will test it soon on a clean installation.
I tried to deactivate my child-theme and a few plugins with no result.

Thanks

Let us know how it goes with the fresh install.

Hi there @christian_y & @Bappi

i checked it up, i created a new homepage with PRO and Headerbuilder.
Every Plugin is deactivated. It is a clean installation with a little bit of css customation and a few pages.

But now I see where the problem is:

I have had a custom JS Code, that was because of an old bug, where submenu links on mobileview didn’t open correctly.
Is there another solution for this?
Because when i disable this js code below, primarylinks are not clickable on mobilemenu.
As you can see on http://stage.fcg-bielefeld.de

jQuery( function($) {


$(document).on('click', '.x-menu a.x-anchor-menu-item ', function(event){
        if(jQuery(event.target).hasClass('x-anchor-sub-indicator')) {
        	event.preventDefault();
        } else {
        	var url = $(this).attr('href');
        	window.location = url;
        }
});
  
  } );

Hi,

Please change your js code to this.

jQuery( function($) {


$(document).on('click', '.x-off-canvas .x-menu a.x-anchor-menu-item ', function(event){
        if(jQuery(event.target).hasClass('x-anchor-sub-indicator')) {
        	event.preventDefault();
        } else {
        	var url = $(this).attr('href');
        	window.location = url;
        }
});
  
  } );

Hope that helps.
