Consent field link open in new tab disappears

Hi @zsoltadam

Sorry for the inconvenience. This has been already reported to our development team and a fix will be included in upcoming versions of Forminator.

Meanwhile, our team has worked on a workaround that could help in this case, which is, adding the link through a shortcode. Please add a must-use plugin to your site’s wp-content/mu-plugins folder like this https://wpmudev.com/docs/using-wordpress/installing-wordpress-plugins/#installing-mu-plugins, then add the following code to the plugin’s php file:

<?php
add_shortcode( 'wpmudev_link_shortcode', 'wpmudev_add_link_html_consent_field' );
function wpmudev_add_link_html_consent_field(){
	return "<a  target='_blank'>WPMUDEV</a>"; //Replace this with your link
}
add_filter( 'forminator_replace_variables', 'do_shortcode' );

Note: In the code please replace the link with your link.

After replacing the link you can use the shortcode [wpmudev_link_shortcode] in the field.

We recommend to test this on the dev/staging version first before putting it on the live site.

Hope it will solve your problem.

Kind Regards

Luis

Dear Forminator, I am having the same issue with the consent checkbox. I would like the privacy and terms and conditions link to open in a new window. The problem is that if someone completes the form and then has to click on one of these links, the form gets replaced in the same page and is lost. Bad experience for users. When will this be resolved? Thanks, G

Hi @graichura,

This will be fixed in the next plugin update ie v 1.24.2. At the moment, I’m afraid there isn’t any exact ETA but can confirm it’s already fixed and hopefully, an update will be available soon.

In the meanwhile, you could try the above suggested snippet as a workaround if needed.

If you have any further queries please feel free to open a new thread with us for any further assistance.
