Just updated, links won't open in new window

    Hi, helpful, I know, but I don’t know specifically what version of WP or Catablog I used to be running, I hadn’t upgraded in maybe a month? But I upgraded today, and the titles of my Catablog items at first were no longer links. I went to Catablog Options, and reloaded the default template, which turned my item titles back into links. However, even though I have “_blank” selected as my link target under the “Title” tab of Catablog Options, I can’t get the links to open in a new window, they reload the current page instead. Advice?

    Lastly, I don’t know how the previous version of Catablog was coded, but the title text looks different now… bolder, larger? I tried changing the <h4> tag to h1,h2,p, etc but it just doesn’t look the same, somehow… I know, like I said… super helpful information.

    Thanks for the help!

    You are more than welcome to look back and try older versions of CataBlog, if you find one that works better let me know and we can diagnose the exact CSS discrepancies. Personally I am thinking of yet more changes to how the title’s CSS class is treated by CataBlog, with its future in mind. Two questions are on my when it comes to making the perfect configuration:

    1. The new WordPress 3.2 theme TwentyEleven displays the CataBlog titles very large. I am considering removing or changing the font size from the CSS class because of this.

    2. The next version of CataBlog will include the ability to turn each catalog item into its own page, this opens all sorts of new opportunity for the template system. In particular I need to make sure that each catalog entry’s title font size works along side with the page and post’s title, or something similar…

    Any ideas or thoughts are massively appreciated, cheers!

    And thank you so much for pointing out that %TITLE-LINK% does not use the target value in its link. For now you may fix this by replacing %TITLE-LINK% with this:

    <a href="%LINK%" target="%LINK-TARGET%">%TITLE%</a>

    Thanks so much for responding so quickly. Back at the office after the long weekend, I tried the above replacement, but the links were still not opening on another page/tab. Just as an FYI, when I used the above new code AND replaced %LINK-TARGET% with _blank it works. Happy to have that fixed!

    Katie,

    Could you please check that you have the link target set to _blank in the CataBlog title options? I am curious because I want to check if all the link target tokens are broken, thanks.

    Yes, I did double check the target option was set to _blank and it wasn’t functioning for me, so I wrote it in.

    Katie,

    Thanks for pointing out the bug, both the tokens should be fixed in the new 1.2.9 version I released earlier today. Thanks again, and if you can remember to mark the new version as working that would be awesome.

    Thanks for the update, I marked it as working!

    Can someone give me a step by step solution on this?

    I just tried reuploading the plugin linked by macguru and my links are still not working.

    I reloaded the default template it works now. Thanks

    I have a similar problem with images.
    After upgrading to WordPress 3.2 images no longer appear.
    I am using the latest version of “CataBlog” the 1.2.9.8.
    I reloaded the default template but don’t works.
    If I disable Lightbox everything works perfectly.
    What can I do?

    Thank you.
