Thanks @dragosvrejiu,

No worries about the late reply – don’t think our accommodation booking site is going to get much use for a while with the current world situation. Will try out the suggestion and let you know.

Thanks @dragosvrejiu for getting back.

Yes, Disable dynamic translation was the first thing I tried before trying the other settings.

I have now tried again multiple permutations of disabling dynamic translation and excluding translations using the different advanced settings. I’ve also inserted additional selectors into the code and tried removing those via the translatepress advanced settings to be very specific about targeting the right string. Before testing each new setting, I delete all relevant entries from the database. So far, nothing has worked to get the right result – it’s one of those situations where I might solve one thing but another problem then appears. Not sure what else to try or if I should just accept the mix of languages ??

@betrays… sorry for not responding to your question sooner as I’m travelling and had not been checking emails.

Not sure if you’ve already found a solution but I made the change in the database table. Unfortunately at the moment I can’t log in to find out which table I edited, but I’m sure you’d be able to work it out (would have been a table for settings). I simply changed _blank to _top for the relevant link.

I actually did and it worked! But in the end, it was as I suspected – I had created a new template for the post and that stuffed things around. I’ve now ditched the template and used css to remove parts of the post that I did not want.

Thanks for taking the time to help … most appreciated and it did put me on the right path to get it fixed ??

@crouchingbruin Thanks for that. I think you have given me a bit more of a clue. It could be a result of me messing around with the layout ??

Thanks Joy … in all honesty, I have been struggling with where to post this. Whilst it is an issue that has cropped up as a result of using fancybox, I’m not entirely sure it is since the plugin itself actually works. But will post in the relevant forum too.

Igore the above request … FOUND it! Fixed it! Now works as I want it to – super happy.

Thanks for that suggestion Malcolm.

I did try using jquery to add the target attr but wasn’t too successful. Come to think of it, I did start writing a function initially, but thought it might be too convoluted a process … but the link you provided might help – and it has given me other ideas as to what else I might be able to try.

Can I assume rightly that when in the admin panel, if the target for a menu item is selected to open in a new window/tab (_blank), that bit of info is stashed somewhere in the database? I searched the db “options” table but found nothing … you wouldn’t happen to know where I might look, would you?

I simply can’t believe how much time I am spending on trying to achieve something so simple ??
