I cannot get the _blank target to work on this site. Below is a link of the site having this issue as well as a sample of the code.

Agenda

http://edgertonksdev.org/city-council/city-council-agendas-and-minutes/ *Once on the page drop the accordion 2017 Agendas and Minutes and click on a live link.

http://edgertonksdev.org/resident-resources/public-safety-and-community-partners/ *This page has third party links to websites. Click to see the same issue.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing in! It looks like target is not supported in accordion element. However you can do this with custom script, instead of target=”_blank” use class=”_blank” for example:

<div class="x-column x-sm x-1-5"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/Council-Agenda-01-12-2017.pdf" class="_blank">Agenda</a></div>

Do this for every item you need to open in new window, then add the following jQuery script in your Customizer via Appearance > Customize > Custom > Edit Global Javascript

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
	$('._blank').attr('target', '_blank');
});

Don’t forget to clear your browser’s cache after adding the code. Let us know how this goes!

This worked awesome for the accordion targets. Now the target=_blank on menu items no longer works. What did I do wrong?

Visit this page – http://edgertonksdev.org/city-council/ and select Public Hearing Notices in the left hand menu. It is set to open in a new window but will not. I think this was an issue prior to implementing the solution you suggested.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi there,

It supposed to work but as you are using within Widget, I guess that’s why it’s not working as expected. You can do the same as the suggestion. Like adding the custom class to the menu – http://prntscr.com/eh7hig

In that case the JS code would be like :

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
	$('.open_blank a').attr('target', '_blank');
});

Cheers!
