It’s linking to an internal server, but here’s code code from the text widget:
<a href="http://vision/visionclient/deltekvision.application"><img src="http://intra/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vision_logo.png" alt="Vision" height="25" width="63" /></a> <a href="http://vision/navigator"><img src="http://intra/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/navigator_logo.png" alt="Navigator" height="25" width="99" /></a>
Just note that even putting in something like http://www.google.com/ would not work either, it would just redirect to another page on the Intranet. It seemed to be pulling the links from the menu widget above it or somewhere else on the page.
I will try to replicate this on my dev environment. Unfortunately that markup you posted is not sufficient to troubleshoot the issue. It’s the javascript behind the scenes that creates the problem.
Alright, is there something else you’d want me to give you? I wish I could give you a link to the site, but, unfortunately, it’s our company Intranet.
Thanks for the help.
Okay, after researching the subject, we finally found out what the issue is in some browsers:

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

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 π

Thanks for the response! I went ahead and manually upgraded the plugin on our test site. Unfortunately, the problem still seems to persist.
IE still redirects to another link, however Chrome just doesn’t do anything now. Any thoughts?
3.8.1 completely killed my website. Uninstalled it and back to normal.
cjwinternet, could you elaborate on the problem? did you get an error message? did you get a blank page? did you check your error logs? π Thanks!
I pushed a new update to github:
https://github.com/getusedtoit/wp-slimstat/releases/tag/3.8.1
Could you please test it and see if it works now?
Still seems to be redirecting to another page π
Then it must be a conflict with another plugin :/ Can you check?
I’ll run through and disable plugins on our test site to see if I can weed out the problem. Will follow up shortly.
Ran through and found the conflicting plugin – Looks like it’s the WordPress Slider Plugin (which would explain why it’s only occurring on the home page since that’s the only place we use it).

Any ideas?
