    Every time I try to add ‘target=”_blank”‘ to DESCRIPTION field, it is removed upon save.

    Is NextGen still filtering out this tag?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @lukedouglas ,

    That’s correct, for the security reasons NextGen filters pretty all of the tags ( excepting <a> and their attributes including ‘target=”_blank”‘

    Security? You allow the link, just not the target tag!

    Here is the text in the Description field:

    <div class="portfolio-full"><h2>Headland High Alumni</h2><div class="redesign">Redesigned: May 31, 2023</div><div class="created">Created: March 15, 2015</div><div class="resign-number">3rd redesign</div><div class="website-link"><a class="button" href="https://headlandhighalumni.org">View Website</a></div></div>

    If I insert the ‘target=”_blank”‘ it is removed. So allowing a link that could ‘possibly’ be used for evil purposes in the same window is allowed but allowing it in a ‘new’ window isn’t?

    Come on…that’s a lame argument.

    Just allow the tag to be used. That way a developer like me who wants a link to open in a different tag has that ‘design’ ability.

    For this website displaying a portfolio of websites designed, the client wishes it to open in a separate tab yet leave his website in the tab as there are other portfolio’s that the viewer might like to view without having to hit the ‘back’ button or hold the SHIFT key which a ‘lot’ of people are clueless.
