Many thanks.</p> <p>What are the chances of having a child theme in the future? </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/social-media-icons-how-to-open-in-a-new-window#post-89876 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:49:59 +0000 Devin 89876@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>Hi Adendum,</p> <p>There isn't currently a child theme already create but the change is pretty simple. Open includes&gt;helper-social-media.php and look for:<br /> <pre><code>$html .= &quot;&lt;a href=&#39;&quot;.$icon[&#39;social_icon_link&#39;].&quot;&#39;&gt;&quot;.ucfirst($icon[&#39;social_icon&#39;]).&quot;&lt;/a&gt;&quot;;</code></pre> <p>replace that line with:<br /> <code>$html .= &quot;&lt;a href=&#39;&quot;.$icon[&#39;social_icon_link&#39;].&quot;&#39; target=&#39;_blank&#39;&gt;&quot;.ucfirst($icon[&#39;social_icon&#39;]).&quot;&lt;/a&gt;&quot;;</code></p> <p>So that the target blank gets added to all social media links. </p> <p>Regards,</p> <p>Devin </p> http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/social-media-icons-how-to-open-in-a-new-window#post-89821 Thu, 03 Jan 2013 16:02:05 +0000 Adendum 89821@http://www.kriesi.at/support/ <p>I would prefer to have all social media icons open a new tab or window rather than in the same window. There does not appear to be an option for this so I assume I would need to edit the php in one of the theme files? If so where?</p> <p>Also if this is the only route is there a child theme available to ensure future updates don't overwrite any changes? </p>
