Hi,

Many of us I think have social icons in our footer, linking them to their respective channels. Not sure if this was ever any different in the past, but I see they don’t open in new windows. This is very, VERY bad for conversion.
Could this be changed, or am I missing a setting to enable this myself?

Hello,

Provide temporary wp-admin and FTP access, so we can take a closer look.

Hello Niddy,

Thanks for your feedback, I will forward your feature request about extra options for socials to our developer team.
Please add the following JS code to your website and it should achieve what you need.
If you have any questions please open a new topic.

var links = document.querySelectorAll(".etheme_widget_socials a"); for (let i = 0, linksLength = links.length ; i < linksLength ; i++) { if (links[i].hostname !== window.location.hostname) { links[i].target = '_blank'; links[i].rel = 'noreferrer noopener'; } }

Regards

I’ve noticed that the code has already been added to the custom js (url in private). By you?
However, socials still don’t open in new window

Please contact administrator
for this information.

Hello,

I can not see those JS code in the following link https://www.voyeurx.nl/wp-content/themes/xstore-child/js/voyeurx-custom.js
Most probably it is not loading by your CDN. you could add JS code by yourself in the proper place or try to clear your cache.
