   Hi cg413,

   Some of these are a bit more involved but lets see what we can do!

   The main nav items can be made to open in a new window from the Menus manager as part of the native wordpress interface. You might need to enable the Link Target option in the Screen Options tab located at the top of the screen when viewing the Menus area. Then you can choose that option as part of the menu item.

   For the social icons, open your header.php files located in the theme files and replace:
   

   <?php
   						if($twitter = avia_get_option('twitter')) echo "<li class='twitter'><a href='http://twitter.com/".$twitter."' >Twitter</a></li>";
   						if($facebook = avia_get_option('facebook')) echo "<li class='facebook'><a href='".$facebook."'>Facebook</a></li>";
   						 ?>

   with
   

   <?php
   						if($twitter = avia_get_option('twitter')) echo "<li class='twitter'><a href='http://twitter.com/".$twitter."' target='_blank'>Twitter</a></li>";
   						if($facebook = avia_get_option('facebook')) echo "<li class='facebook'><a href='".$facebook."' target='_blank'>Twitter</a></li>";
   						 ?>

   Your just adding target='_blank' to each of the links.

   As for the accordion links, I'm not quite sure. I'll have to check with some of the other support crew and see if they have a good idea on that.

   Regards,

   Devin

   Is it somewhere here, in the helper-slideshow.php file?

   //apply links to the image if thats what the user wanted
   $url = avia_get_link($element, 'slideshow_', false, $this->post_id);
   if($url) $url = "<Hyperlink URL='".$url."' />";

   if(is_numeric($element['slideshow_image']))
   {

   $this->slides_xml .= '<Image Source="'.avia_image_by_id($element['slideshow_image'], 'featured', 'url').'" Title="'.$element['slideshow_caption_title'].'">';
   $this->slides_xml .= $text.$url;
   $this->slides_xml .= '</Image>';
   }
   else
   {
   if(avia_backend_is_file($element['slideshow_image'], 'html5video') || avia_backend_is_file($element['slideshow_image'], array('swf')))
   {
   preg_match("!^(.+?)(?:\.([^.]+))?$!", $element['slideshow_image'], $path_split);

   $tag = 'Video';
   if($path_split[2] == 'swf') $tag = 'Flash';

   $this->slides_xml .= '<'.$tag.' Source="'.$element['slideshow_image'].'" Title="'.$element['slideshow_caption_title'].'" Width="'.$avia_config['imgSize']['featured']['width'].'" Height="'.$avia_config['imgSize']['featured']['height'].'" Autoplay="true" >';

   ok, I found a solution. I installed this plugin, which launches ALL http:// or https:// links in a new window, site wide.

   Problem solved.
