Hi there!

I’m having issues with the homepage featured content; specifically, directing the links to open in a new window. The customizer provides a text input field titled “Target. Open link in new window?” Leaving the field blank or inputting text yields the same outcome. The value automatically defaults to target=”_self”

Investigating the code on the child page (adventurous-featured-content.php), something seems to be off in the operation. The parameters given are as follows:

if ( !empty ( $options[ ‘homepage_featured_base’ ][ $i ] ) ) {
$target = ‘_blank’;
} else {
$target = ‘_self’;
}

Shouldn’t that mean that leaving the field empty will set the target value to _blank so that it opens in a new window? Why is it still defaulting to _self whether or not there is a value in the field?

Here’s my website: http://barefootwanderer.com/
In particular, I want that “Barefoot Wanderer Crafts” link to open in a new window, since it redirects outside of my site.

Thanks for the help!

@krizgirz: There has been a little bug in the Adventurous Theme, that is why the issue arose. The input type should be a checkbox instead of text field. The issue will be fixed in the next update.
For now to avoid issue use Theme Options instead of Customizer for this option. Go to Dashboard=> Appearance=> Theme Options=> Featured Content=> Featured Content Option and Check on Check to open in new window option in
Target. Open Link in New Window?.
This will help for now. Sorry for the trouble.

Mahesh
