[Fixed] Social Icon Links Don't Open in New Window

interfx · August 4, 2013

How do I make the social media icons in the header, open in a new window? Did not see a solution after a quick search here…

Bump. How do we get social icons to open in a new tab?

Social Icon Links Don't Open in New Window
Continuation of this thread, but in the proper forum: http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=237545

When a user clicks on the Social Media icon content block, the page opens in the current window. This takes the user away from our SmugMug site. This is bad! Please give the option to open in new window.

Thanks, was wondering the same thing

I was wondering about this too. They give an option to make other navbar links open to a new window, but canned links that TAKE VIEWERS AWAY FROM SMUGMUG don't have that feature available. Seems crazy...

This feature should be available shortly. Thanks for your patience!

An option has been added to set links to open in a new tab:

What about links created in text blocks. It would be nice if they opened in a different window too.

Cheers,

Works well in both my About section and on my Nav bar.
Thanks for the update

You can already do this (and have been able to, since launch).
