    Is it possible to change the portfolio link behavior to open a link directly with a target=”_blank”. Not the portfolio page, or the lightbox, but a link to a different site directly.

    In other words, in the location below:
    Clicking on the link icon that appears when hovering, would take you to the actual site that is linked, for instance: Clicking on the Chicagoist link would open a NEW window on the Chicagoist site.

    I can edit some javascript or php code, I just would like to know where to start looking.

    Does Legenda use a woo themes, or other plugin for managing the portfolios?

    Thanks, Mike

    Please, contact administrator

    Hello,

    You can create redirect via .htaccess file.
    Insert this code
    Redirect 301 /portfolio/real-kitchen-hilariously-dresses-up-as-alinea-for-halloween/ http://site_name_you_wish_to_redirect_to

    “/portfolio/real-kitchen-hilariously-dresses-up-as-alinea-for-halloween/” – you can replace it with the path to your portfolio project.

    Your hosting provider should give you more information regarding .htacccess redirect.

    Thanks, Eva, I will try this. Perhaps with a redirecting plugin to which I can add all the portfolio links.

    Is there a plugin for the portfolios that legenda is using, that I could go and research more?

    Thanks, Mike

    You’re welcome.
    Sorry, but it’s up to you what plugin to use.
    We don’t guarantee full compatibility of 3rd-party plugins with our theme.

    Eva,

    thanks for your reply, i came across the same problem as well

    apart from using redirect coding in htaccess, is there any other method that can do so as well?

    thx very much

    Hello @johntheone,

    Unfortunately you can do this only via .htaccess redirect or edit php files for your needs (this is a paid service). If you have necessary skills you can try to do this yourself. My suggestion – doing it via .htaccess will be easier.

    thx Eva for your reply.

    upon my waiting for your reply

    i went to download some other plugin , say one of them called “Portfolio”

    and it wasnt good, anyway, after deactivate and remove it, i figured that the original portfolio pages is not longer showing anything

    i checked ur documentation about adding it by assigning it to “Portfolio” template in page attribute, however, there’s no such option.

    will you please kindly tell me how to add back the original portfolio page?

    and for the htaccess.

    will you please kindly elaborate more?

    where should i edit it? in FILEZILLA or in Appearance -> editor? THX

    Hello @johntheone,

    We need to have the access to your wp-admin panel and FTP to investigate the issue with portfolio. Would you be so kind to provide us with it?
    Concerning the .htaccess changes, you need edit it via FTP. Your hosting provider should tell you more about redirects.

    Regards,
    Eva Kemp.
