Hi folks --

 

I just installed Pagelines last week on GoDaddy using WP 3.5.1.

 

 

I added the Customize plugin and Activated it and then added the following line at the end of the Customize functions.php file.

 

add_filter( 'pagelines_features_target', function() { return 'target="_blank"'; } );

 

I'm new at this so I'm probably missing something because my Features links are not opening in new pages or tabs now.

 

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

The links are on the first and third images on the home page at

I'm not strong enough on php to advise on the above and tell you if its correct unfortunately.

 

However, are you getting an error thrown when you enter this? Anything that's suggesting where the code is incorrect?

 

Where did you find the filter above?

[daveschroeder]

I am not a PHP person either. I found this code on a forum thread on opening Feature link URLs in new windows.

[daveschroeder]

And it's not showing any errors...

If you can post a link to the original thread I'll see if we can track down the original poster for you. Usually that type of filter would be outside of our support spectrum, but if it's one of our team I might be able to track them down and find out more for you

Here's where I found it:

Excellent, Simon's one of our developers. I'll send him a message to see if that's the correct code still and we'll update you when we get a response :-)

Thanks!

Hi,

 

Please review the code in the topic again, as I have just fixed it. Basically, that code wasn't correctly formatted.

[daveschroeder]

Hi Danny --

 

My apologies, but I just just checked on the referenced post with Simon's snippet and there haven't been any updates there. Do you mean my code snipped was not correctly formatted or some code at your end wasn't and you've just fixed it.

 

Thanks so much -- Dave

Basically, the code Simon wrote works as I tried this myself just a moment ago. However, the forums had not added the code in the correct format and replace '' with ASCII Code. I have corrected this below.

Thanks! I will give that a try!

[daveschroeder]

I checked and that's the exact character for character syntax of what I added to the end of the functions.php file in the customize plugin originally.

 

 

/*

// ====================================================

// = YOUR FUNCTIONS - Where you should add your code  =

// ====================================================

*/

 

add_filter( 'pagelines_features_target', function() { return 'target="_blank"'; } );

 

Do I have to do something else to make it work? The customize plugin is activated.

 

Thanks -- Dave

[Danny]

Well the code does indeed work. Have you made sure you have added a link to your feature(s) ?

Yes... here's the relevant image from one of the three feature slides:

 

 

I've double-checked and Pagelines Customize is activated.

 

That should be all I need to do, right?

 

Thanks -- Dave

[daveschroeder]

As I've been testing when I add the filter below to my Customize functions.php file I get the following error that takes down my site:

 

/*

// ====================================================

// = YOUR FUNCTIONS - Where you should add your code  =

// ====================================================

*/

 

add_filter( 'pagelines_features_target', function() { return 'target="_blank"'; } );

Can you please paste the entire code in your functions.php file in a pastebin at www.pastebin.com and post the link to it here?

[daveschroeder]

Thanks, Catrina.

 

Here's the link.
