I built this site using co-blocks. All the links open in the same window even though I have set every link to open in a new window.

My first time using co-blocks and I am not impressed so far. Please fix the plugin. My client wants his links to open in a new window.

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

Hi @charles-sandor,

Thank you for reaching out. How are you? 😀

In order to set a part of the paragraph as a link that will open in a new tab, you will have to do something like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/122FmYiKfru6lomNZWMa–cwrYRmV-8Zu/view

I followed the above-mentioned instructions and the links are opening in the new tab for me – https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QeNg9qALqY8W5sCe4z37eMK9Z12OoRVj/view

Let me know if you have any additional questions.
Have a wonderful day!

Best Regards,
Pavle

Hi, I viewed the link you sent and duplicated the actions in the video on 3 different links. It didn’t work, the links still open in the same window.

Hey @charles-sandor,

Have you tried deactivating all plugins except CoBlocks and activating another theme – Twenty Twenty for example?

By doing so, we would isolate the issue and ensure that it isn’t caused by the theme or other plugins.

Let me know once you do that so we can continue troubleshooting and find what’s causing you trouble.

Best Regards,
Pavle

Hi, I deactivated plugins one at a time and found the plugin that was causing the issue – WP Accessibility.
Now the new window links are working fine with that plugin deactivated.

Hi @charles-sandor, I hope you are doing great.

The reason why this happens is the fact this is the default setting of this plugin, which means that it affects all links. You may want to check this thread:

Since this setting may be disabled according to WP Accessibility plugin developers, you can also resolve the issue by simply tweaking plugin settings.

I hope this helps, have a nice day,
Andrija
