    Okay, after researching the subject, we finally found out what the issue is in some browsers:

    https://stackoverflow.com/a/9514875

    We patched our code to follow what described in that article, and according to our tests, it is working as expected now.

    Those of you who want to test version 3.8.1 before it’s officially released here on the WP repo, can download it from our github repository

    Cheers,

    PS: after doing the manual upgrade (DO NOT UNINSTALL THE CURRENT ONE OR YOY WILL LOSE ALL YOUR DATA!), the version number will still say 3.8. Do not worry about it, it’s done on purpose, so that when we release 3.8.1 here on WP.org, you will get a notification to upgrade and stay up-to-date ??

    Cheers,
    Camu

    Works like a charm again, great work! Thank you all, Camu & colleagues!

    The only drawback is that there is no need anymore for our scheduled chat this afternoon… ??

    Keep up the excellent work!

    Best wishes from Germany,

    By the way, a vote for Slimstat would be a nice way to say thank you:

    It works, but now its open two new tabs with the same url.

    https://www.pascalbetke.de/ (click on shop, you’ll see)

    or https://www.codefieber.de/ scroll down to “Partner” on the right side. It’s open the url in an new tab but also its open an flickr image – thats not correct my dear ??

    I use Chrome and in the IE its the same.

    I have see in zonebattler’s page, it’s the same but probably just did not notice because the popupblocker was enabled? ??

    @gurki, I will run some tests and let you know ?? Do you have any other plugins that might be interfering with Slimstat? Could you try deactivating all the other ones and see what happens?

    Hi Gurki / Pascal,

    I can’t verify that, every click on the links you provided opens one (and only one) new tab. The fix works for me. Are you shure that you have replaced the WP Slimstat plugin by the unoffical release 2.8.1 via FTP?

    Servus,
    Ralph

    I have uploaded and overwrited with an ftp client, yes. The links will now open in an new tab (it doesn’t work befor), but now its open two tabs.

    The same is on your page Ralph, i open this page: https://www.zonebattler.net/2014/10/29/altglasverwertung/ and clicked on “Old-Fidelity-Forum” on the top. If the popup-blocker disabled it will open two tabs ??

    @camu: i try to test it.

    Strange, my page works fine now with 3.8.1. installed (whereas the links didn’t vork at all yesterday with Slimstat 3.8 in the background).

    Hm, I’m sure Camu can solve this new riddle as well. He is a magician… ??

    Lol, thank you zonebattler ?? Indeed I know what the issue is : I should NOT be fixing bugs at 10pm, when my brain is already drifting into Morpheus’ arms. I will be pushing a new update to git later today. Thank you for being so proactive!

    I’ve got this problem as well. No external links work in Chrome and IE. Links work in Firefox. All links work OK when plugin is disabled.
