  • Please do not open links in new tabs or windows without warning the user in clear text on the page. This kind of site behaviour breaks the broser Back button & can leave some user groups stranded on the new tab with absolutely no way of getting back to your site.

    If your site contains decent content, your visitors will either may their way back to your site or will open links in new tabs using their controls in their own browsers.

    add target=”_blank” to links.

    In social.php file find this below code and others:
    <?php if (dinky_get_theme_option('social_mail') != ''): ?><li><a class="social_round-email" href="<?php echo 'mailto:' . dinky_get_theme_option('social_mail') ?>" title="<?php _e('E-mail','dinky'); ?>"></a></li><?php endif; ?>

    Then replace those by this:
    <?php if (dinky_get_theme_option('social_mail') != ''): ?><li><a target="_blank" class="social_round-email" href="<?php echo 'mailto:' . dinky_get_theme_option('social_mail') ?>" title="<?php _e('E-mail','dinky'); ?>"></a></li><?php endif; ?>
