Since updating - elements constantly opening URL links in new tabs when selecting any element with a link

Hello

Since updating today, when I click on an element in the Pro editor, the link opens up in a new tab. While it can be nice to see the link work, anytime I switch to an element with a link, it constantly opens a new tab with the URL linked. How can I stop this from occurring while in the editor? It’s becoming very frustrating to deal with.

I would share a gif of the issue but forum restricts me from uploading a file that’s only 1.81 MB in size.

Hey there,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Please check for the following first:

  1. Ensure everything is up to date according to our version compatibility list at https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/troubleshooting-version-compatibility/195. Please follow the best practices when updating your theme and plugins. See https://theme.co/apex/forum/t/setup-updating-your-themes-and-plugins/62 for more details.

  2. Clear all caches including browser cache then deactivate your caching plugins and other optimization plugins.

  3. If you’re using a CDN, please clear the CDN’s cache and disable optimization services.

  4. Test for a plugin 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.

  5. Remove custom CSS, JavaScript and deactivate your child theme and switch to parent theme (take a complete backup first).

Let us know how this goes!.
