    I want links from buttons to open in new tab. I do not see any option for that. When I try “open link in new window” nothing happens either. What can I do?

    Can it be due to the fact that I have UberMenu installed. If yes, can anything be done about it, or do I have to deactivate / uninstall UberMenu?

    Wordpress 4.4.1
    x version 4.3.0.
    Child 1.0.0.
    Cornerstone 1.0.11
    UberMenu installed correctly according to instructions from Chris Mavricos at sevenspark.com

    One more detail. On the front page it seems 1 link works the way it´s supposed to: The one with the long button. “the struggle has never been……”

    But the others do not – not the cards and neither the button going to The Climate Mobilization and neither do the ones on the cards (the left and the right are set up with a target – not the middle one)

    Hi Hans,

    First you have to show the Link target field, click on the Screen options on the top right, check on the Link Target:

    After that check on the Open link in a new tab in your menu item > click on Save Menu button:

    BTW: I’ve just changed the Books menu item.

    Hope it helps 🙂

    Sorry. This didn´t work.
    When I go to Screen options I do NOT get the option: “show advanced menu properties” and Link Target

    My choices are on the attached image

    Actually, I do need some more help. First of all: Your solution solved the problem when I open a page USING A MENU with the option “Open link in new tab”.

    But it does NOT solve the problem when I go from A BUTTON OR A CARD to a page. PLEASE HELP ME FIX THAT.

    And one more thing:

    What is the purpose of using a parent – child page relationship, and when is it advisable to use it.

    Thanks

    Hi there,

    Button has the option to link to the new tab. You can do that by inspecting your button, and toggle on the Open Link in New Window.

    And about the card, add this code at Admin > Appearance > Customizer > Custom > Javascript.

    jQuery('a.x-face-button').attr('target','_blank');

    The purpose of parent and child page is mainly for URL structure. For example, /parent/child/ and it’s more useful in SEO. And of course, useful for grouping related pages. Parent-Child relationship is different from the menu, it won’t reflect your parent-child page relationship.

    Hope this helps.
