why links are always opening in a new window
why links are always opening in a new window
Hello, I am using Wonder CMS with default theme and I find an annoying behavior when creating and usiong hyperlinks: even if I deselect the "open in a new window" flag, links still open in a new window. I am using Chrome browser. Is it a known bug? is there a way to solve it? even if I edit the source html code and delete target="_blank", it still happens. Thank you. Alberto Greco
Re: why links are always opening in a new window
Hello albgreco,
this sounds like a browser or OS issue, there are no bugs (as far as I know) with that issue in WonderCMS.
Check your website using another browser, that's the easiest approach.
Or go through Chrome settings and see if open in new window/tab is enabled. Chrome Help: https://support.google.com/chrome/threa ... =326025386

Re: why links are always opening in a new window
Thank you, but it does not seem to be a browser issue. The same happens with Edge (always Windows 10). On the other hand, if I load (outside the cms) a simple test.html page with <a href> link, even in Chrome it opens normally in the same window. I therefore think there is something in the code, which is quite complex, that Wonder Cms inserts together with the link.

To make things clear, WonderCMS doesn't insert anything, if it did, nobody would use it.
You can check all issues here: https://github.com/WonderCMS/wondercms/issues
People would log that issue if it was present. I just did a third clean WonderCMS installation (private and demo hosting) and there are no issues with links, they are behaving as intended.
Here is a demo of a clean Wonder CMS with default Sky theme: https://wonde.rf.gd/
Could you check and let us know if you have the same issue visiting demo website?
Is it possible that browser extensions are adding "open in new tab" option? Try disabling them.
Edge is based on Chrome, and there are issues with links opening in a new tab all over the net.
Someone suggests doing a full scan with Win Security.
Also you could try visiting your website with another device (pc, tv or phone) and check if the issue is present.
Is Wonder CMS downloaded from https://www.wondercms.com/download ?
It is really hard to figure out the issue because it can be browsers and operating system settings, (VPN?), WonderCMS setup (are you doing some custom changes to index.php, themes, plugins, adding custom code...)

Re: why links are always opening in a new window
Hello nox,
thank you for your time. You are right, it must be a browser issue, because it does'nt happen with Firefox. By removing some extensions that Chrome was reporting as unsafe (unfortunately I didn't make a note of which ones they were) the problem seems to have been resolved. But the strange thing that I cannot understand is why it only happened with the pages of my site created with WonderCMS while the links on other sites worked correctly. This is what led me to believe that it was a problem with the CMS. The problem was really annoying because when editing the site every time I tested a link a new tab would open and the screen would fill up; the same page would be opened numerous times with the risk of editing a previous version. Thanks again.

Re: why links are always opening in a new window
Sorry, I spoke too soon. Actually the problem is not solved. Only now I realise that it only happens after logging in, so only while editing the site. I'll take a closer look at the source code to see what's going on.
