 * Hello,
 * Nice plugin! On your website you press ‘click to tweet’ and the twitter box pops
   open in the same screen. However on my blog when you press ‘click to tweet’ it
   takes the user to another tab. OK, the same information is being displayed on
   both blogs but it’s not as smooth on mine it creates ‘friction’. How do I get
   it to open in the same window?.
 * Thanks

 * Hi [@focusedallday](https://wordpress.org/support/users/focusedallday/) and [@simonwordpressorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/simonwordpressorg/)
 * Apologies for the slow turnaround here! What website are you referring to that
   it is working in the same window?
 * Version 4.4 (way back in 2015) of Better Click To Tweet had the functionality
   you are looking for, but I had a concerned user reach out about security concerns
   with the method I was using to have it open in a modal popup, and so I removed
   that functionality in version 4.6.1 relatively shortly thereafter.
 * There may be away to do that, but I am not likely to introduce it as a functionality
   of the core plugin, since it’s not often requested and I am loathe to go back
   on a security fix.
 * Thanks!

 * Following up here: I heard from the Twitter team that they removed the modal 
   popup functionality from their API, so it’s not possible to do any longer.
 * Thanks!
