Social Sharing not opening in new window…

  • Firstly, great plugin. Easy to install, clean and modern design. Love it.

    But…When the links to share are clicked, they’re opening in the same window instead of a new window. This is effectively causing website visitors to leave the website and land on their social media link of choice. This is not good for usability.

    Now, I’ve only installed this on this particular testing server, so I don’t know if I’m experiencing some sort of jQuery conflict that I haven’t pinpointed yet, or if this is a plugin bug. When viewing the source I don’t see any target.

    Hi triplemoons,

    Yes, the links to share are opening in the same window instead of a new window.
    Thanks for your suggestion, we’ll add this option in plugin in next update asap.

    Best,

    Look in wp-content/plugins/responsive-social-sharing-icons for rssi-calling.php

    change <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' .urlencode(get_permalink() ) . '">

to

</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=' .urlencode(get_permalink() ) . '">

    add the target=”_blank” to remaining links
