    Noob here. What do I need to do to this shortcode to have the link open in a new tab (_blank) and open the pdf instead of going to another with a link to the pdf? Thanks in advance for any and all help! 🙂

    [mla_gallery post_mime_type="application/pdf" size=icon mla_caption="{+title+}" tax_query="array(array('taxonomy'=>'attachment_category','field'=>'slug','terms'=>'cowcalf'),array('taxonomy'=>'attachment_tag','field'=>'slug','terms'=>'cowcalf'),'relation'=>'OR')"]

    Thanks for your question and for including the complete text of your shortcode.

    You can get the results you want by adding link=file and mla_target="_blank" parameters to your shortcode:

    
[mla_gallery]
post_mime_type="application/pdf"
size=icon
link=file
mla_target="_blank"
mla_caption="{+title+}"
tax_query="array(array('taxonomy'=>'attachment_category','field'=>'slug','terms'=>'cowcalf'),array('taxonomy'=>'attachment_tag','field'=>'slug','terms'=>'cowcalf'),'relation'=>'OR')"
[/mla_gallery]

    I have used the alternate “enclosing shortcode” syntax to make the parameters easier to see and to avoid WordPress parsing problems with complex shortcodes, e.g., the tax_query.

    I am marking this topic resolved, but please update it if you have any problems or further questions regarding the above suggestions. Thank you for your interest in the plugin.
