    Dear sirs,

    I wonder how we can configure the social links to open in a new tab, in v3 this happened, in the new theme v4 is negative, opens in the same window and takes the user off the site, I think there should be an option.

    Thanks all

    I’ve been doing a search and found this topic (https://pokatheme.com/topic/opening-social-media-links-in-a-new-tab/), I’ve fixed it as suggested, but I’d like to suggest that in a new update put this code, because it doesn’t make sense for social links to open in the same window, in the old theme it didn’t happen.

    Hi Ricardo,

    Truth is that a lot of users asked to remove this target=”_blank” because they consider annoying to force the user to open a new tab. Others (like you) disagree with this.

    So we will consider adding an option to the next theme release, so that you will be able to choose if you want to open social links in a new tab or not.

    Thank you for your feedback!

    Hi,

    I appreciate the feedback, but this opinion of other users does not make any sense, because if for them it does not make sense to open in a new tab, then other links such as affiliate links within the site itself, should also not open in a new tab, they are still recommended sites, third-party links to open inside or outside the site.

    Thanks,

    Hi again Ricardo,

    You are right, as I said we will add an option to the next theme version release, so that you will be able to choose if you want to open social links in a new tab or not.

    Thanks a lot for your feedback again!

    Hi Ricardo,

    I’m coming back to this thread to let you know that this option actually exists, under Customizer > Theme Settings > General > Open social links in new tab.

    If it doesn’t work as expected, try to uncheck and Save, and check and Save again.

    Hi,

    This option does not exist in the last version of the theme I have installed, but I have already customized the code with the modification.
