mscirI installed Sliding Doors theme and created a menu, it works as described, but I would like the graphic menu items to open their targets in new tabs/windows.
I installed the "Page Links To" plugin, and when I created the new pages that each Sliding Doors menu item links to I set the "Page Links To > Point to this url" to the url I wanted the menu item to open. That worked for the text menu below the Sliding Doors graphics menu, each text menu item opens the target web page in a new window, but the graphical menu items open in the same window.
In the Menu page I clicked "Screen Options > Show advanced menu properties" and checked the checkbox for "Link Target", then I checked the checkbox "Open link in a new window/tab " for each of the Sliding Doors menu items. No change.
In the Editor > Theme Functions > (functions.php) file I modified the PHP so each anchor included target="_blank", no change!
Finally I added the "Open in New Window" plugin, no change. This may be correct behavior for the plugin because each link points to a page in a subfolder of the folder which contains the blog with the Sliding Doors menu, these may not be considered external links, which the plugin is designed to work with.
I don't understand what is preventing the target web pages from opening in new windows/tabs, something is overriding the html and settings I made but I don't know where to look for it. Any suggestions anyone?
TIA, Mike
