New window on close

Hi @dennistd,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. It is likely a conflict with the site theme.

Please share us the site URL so that we can check the issue.

Hi @webtoffee

Thank you.

the url is [ link moved to link field where it should be ], and we use Astra theme.
The plugin is deactivated right now, as I would like it to work before activation.

Hi @dennistd,

This seems to be caused by the below script on the website,

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
$('a').each(function() {
var a = new RegExp('/' + window.location.host + '/');
if(!a.test(this.href)) {
$(this).click(function(event) {
event.preventDefault();
event.stopPropagation();
window.open(this.href, '_blank');
});
}
});
});
//]]>
</script>

If possible, please try again after removing the code.
OR
You can also try adding the below snippet to your theme’s functions.php,

Hi @webtoffee

Thank you for the reply.

I tried to add the snippet to my theme’s functions.php, but that caused the site to crash, so I had to remove the snippet.

In which file do I find the above script on my website so I can try and remove it?

Hi @dennistd,

Thanks for sharing the information. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Kindly make sure that you have removed the beginning PHP opening tag before adding it to the functions.php file. Check this screenshot for a better understanding.

The script we suggested to remove may be located in the theme’s footer.php file or it may be added by some other third-party plugins.

That solved the problem. Thank you very much.
