Post Links Not Working

  • The three latest links to Bulletins do not work correctly. Instead of opening the .pdf in a new tab, a new tab is opened and the site home page is displayed. This occurs for the three most recent Bulletins; June 4, May 28, and May 21. May 14 works properly. I was notified of this on June 2nd so I must assume all the May links had been working until June 2nd. I have made no site changes in June.

    When logged into the site as administrator the links work correctly.

    Wordpress and all plug-ins are up-to-date. I disabled all plug-ins and it did not fix the issue. I am running the Evolve theme.

  • Hi,

    As I checked that the links which are not working have set 1 property which you have to remove.

    Those all links which are not working has set rel=”noopener noreferrer” html property which is preventing link to open PDF file.

    <a href="https://www.8thstmennonite.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/2017.05.28-Bulletin-1.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">

    Thanks!

    Thank-you for looking into this issue. However the May 14 bulletin that opens properly also has the rel=”noopener noreferrer” property.

    rel=”noopener noreferrer” is included for security purposes when using target=”_blank”.

    A Firefox log of the browser activity shows normal activity for the May 14 link which opens normally, but a “HTTP:/1.1 302 Found” when trying to open the non-working links.

    The only difference I see in the links is the date as to when they were sent to the server.
