Linking to an external website from Popup

@o.plain – I think you posted the wrong link. The answer though is no, we haven’t had any reports of that issue. Sounds like either the link points to the same page (IE not where you intend it to point), or the intended url redirects back to the current one for some reason.

As we don’t have any control over the content of a popup I am not sure this is related to Popup Maker at all.

Hope that helps.

Oh, sorry for the duplicate post – I hadn’t seen your reply here.

The link that I am trying to forward to is:

https://www.matoa-indonesia.com/set_language?language=english

But when I insert it, it only refreshes the site.

Cheers.

@o.plain – How can I see it in action?

Here’s how to reproduce:

1. Please go to: https://www.matoa-watches.com. The popup opens instantaneously.
2. Klick on “WORLDWIDE”
3. You will see that the page simply refreshes

Here’s the code that I put in the popup’s “text” definition to design this popup:

<img class="aligncenter wp-image-676 size-full" src="https://matoa-watches.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/MATOA-Logo.png" alt="MATOA Logo" width="472" height="236" style="margin-bottom: 100px; margin-top: 100px;"/>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h5 style="text-align: center;">PLEASE SELECT YOUR?LOCATION</h5>
&nbsp;
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="margin-bottom: 100px; ">
<tbody>
<td style="border: none; border-style: hidden;"><span><a href="https://www.matoa-indonesia.com" style="font-size:xx-large;">INDONESIA</a></span></td>
<td style="border: none; border-style: hidden; color:#309963; font-size:xx-large; padding-left:35px;">[popup_close tag="span"]EUROPE[/popup_close]</td>
<td style="border: none; border-style: hidden;"><span ><a href="https://www.matoa-indonesia.com/set_language?language=english" style=" font-size:xx-large;">WORLDWIDE</a></span></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>

Please advise: how can I link to: https://www.matoa-indonesia.com/set_language?language=english ?

thanks!

@o.plain – Ok so can you tell me what should happen when I visit https://www.matoa-indonesia.com/set_language?language=english ?

I can tell you what is happening and seems based on that it is working correctly.

Opened a private browsing session and opened browser tools to the network tab to see what was loading. Then entered the above url. This is what happens with that request:

Request URL:https://www.matoa-indonesia.com/set_language?language=english
Request Method:GET
Status Code:302 Moved Temporarily
Remote Address:103.28.12.97:80

That means that this url is set to redirect to https://matoa-watches.com/. Thus when you click the link to WORLDWIDE it comes back to the same place.

Likely you need to look at the indonesia server/settings as it is sending users back the other way when they use that link.

Hope that helps.

Should also add that everytime I’ve tried the link myself it ends up on the matoa-watches.com site as well. Multiple devices so this isn’t just a glitch there is a redirect being caused by settings on that site.

Hope that helps.
