Hi,

I see I can have links open in a new page, but that is considered a pop-up by most browsers and most people block those. Is there any way to have these open in a new tab instead? Thanks

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in! When you want your link to open in a new tab, simply your this html link format:

<a href="http://www.w3schools.com" target="_blank">Visit W3Schools.com!</a>

You can test it here: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_link_target

Hope this helps.

Hoe can I have a link in slider revolution open in a new tab instead of a new window? New window triggers po-up blocking

thanks

Hi there,

Yes you can set the link target – http://prntscr.com/bfi5m7

You can follow Revolution Slider Documentation for more information.

CLearly – http://prntscr.com/bfi5m7 shows ‘same window’ or ‘new window’ NOT new tab. Right? I need a new tab NOT a new window.

It’s hard for me to understand why, in 2016, a developer wouldn’t have this in mind. There are a number of things in x-theme and some of the plugins that are obviously oversights, strange omissions or just bad engineering. Frankly, I’ve been a bit surprised by these. X-theme is supposed to be so advanced.

Thank you.

Hi,

You can select new window.

Opening it in a new tab depends on which browser you are using and on browser settings.

It is more of a browser thing rather than the theme or plugin.

“Whether it opens in a tab or another window though is up to how a user has configured his/her browser.”

Oh! Thank you, but then why does my STORE menu link open in a new tab (not a new window), but I can’t make a revolution slider link do the same?

Please give us the URL where you’ve setup the Rev Slider link and also access to your WordPress admin in a private reply so we could check the actual setup.

Thanks.

Hi there,

Apologies for not being clear. Revolution Slider is a third party plugin bundled with X which means we have incorporated the functions and features available with the plugin to X. The limitation with the options available for the link target in Rev Slider is set in the plugin itself which you can see in their documentation here under link target, the options that you can choose from is only Same Window and New Window.

We could, however, try to add a JS code to the page to button to set it to link to a new tab but kindly provide us with the actual link of the page where you placed the slider.

Thank you.

Thank you! The slider is on this page: http://kiermyer.com/new/closer-to-the-sun-landing-page/

I want the ‘Pre-order Now + Get An<br>Exclusive Bonus Track <i class=”fa-icon-mail-forward’ button to open a new tab.

[Paul R]

Hi,

You’re button has no link so it can’t open in a new window or new tab.

Kindly change the text with this

<a href="http://yoursite.com" target="_blank">Pre-order Now + Get An<br>Exclusive Bonus Track <i class="fa-icon-mail-forward"></i></a>

Change http://yoursite.com with your link.

Hope that helps

[sunship]

We are speaking about this page, right? : http://kiermyer.com/new/closer-to-the-sun-landing-page/

There certainly IS a link from the “pre-order now + get an exclusive bonus track’ button to: https://kiermyer.bandcamp.com/album/closer-to-the-sun
