[Plugin: Meteor Slides] How to Get Slide Link to open as a New Page

    I finally figured out how to get the order of the slides down and am excited by the look the meteor slides plugin gives my website, but my concern is that when I click one of the slides, it takes people to the new page and away from the original. Is there any way to open the slide link as a new page?

    Thank you!!

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Hi Dave, you can open the slide links in a new tab/window using a custom slideshow template.

    At the risk of seeming totally clueless, I’m not sure how to use the custom template. I’m still new to html and css work. I use the Genesis Mocha theme for the website. Do I have to put code in a special place to get them to open in separate page?

    Thanks so much for your time.

    Cheers,

    It’s pretty simple, just copy the meteor-slideshow.php file from the plugin’s includes folder and add the copy to your theme’s folder.

    Then you just need to edit one line of code in the meteor-slideshow.php file in your theme. The code is on line #137, replace it with this:

    <a href="<?php echo get_post_meta( $post->ID, "slide_url_value", $single = true ); ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" target="_blank"><?php the_post_thumbnail( 'featured-slide' ); ?></a>
