 * Hi Casak,
 * I’ve just double checked this and it appears to be working on my end. Can you
   send me a sample of what your shortcode look like? It should be something like
   this:
 * [MMFileList folder=”/2015/02/” order=”asc” target=”_blank” /]

 * Hi MManifesto,
 * Great, plugin, however I could not get the target parameter to work either.
 * Here is the short code:
 * `[MMFileList folder="/sermons/" format="table" types="mp3" target="_blank" orderby
   ="name" order="asc" /]`
 * Here is the site:

 * Thank you!

 * Hey there,
 * I’ve tried that exact shortcode on my system and it seems to be working fine.
   Are you updated to the latest version of the plugin and WordPress? What version
   of php are you using?
 * Have you tried another format to see if the problem is still there?

 * Yes,
 * PHP: 5.6.15-pl0-gentoo
 * Mmm Simple File List by Adam Bissonnette – 1.9
 * I am able to use other formats. I do not even see that the target param is even
   showing on the html output.
 * 🙁

 * How strange!
 * My dev site here is working with the target in a tabular list: [http://dev.mediamanifesto.com/file-list-test/](http://dev.mediamanifesto.com/file-list-test/)
 * You might be able to try using a custom format like this to get the target to
   work:
 * `[MMFileList folder="/sermons/" format="custom" types="mp3" target="_blank" orderby
   ="name" order="asc"]<tr><td class="filename"><a target="_blank" href="{url}">{
   name}</a></td><td class="filesize">{size}</td></tr>[/MMFileList]`
 * Another wild possibility – do you have a caching plugin installed? It could just
   not be updating the page with your changes to the plugin.
