Is there a way to get the button links in Welcome to open in a new tab/window?

Hello Pat,

Yes there is but you’ll need to edit a theme file.

In Appearance > Editor and find the hero.php file.

Add a target=”_blank” attribute to the links between line 29 and 42.

If you need help with that, let me know.

The Welcome area now appears to be missing…

Hi Pat,

Hmm that sounds like a file permission issue with your host.

Can you provide me with admin access to your site so I can log in and have a look?

Hi Pat,

I logged into your site and I see the issue you mentioned.

It seems to be part of a larger core WordPress issue.

Read here https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-edit-main-theme-php-files-after-upgrading-to-4-9/page/5/

A lot of other people are having the same issue.

I disabled the plugins which are not required by Integral and tried to edit the hero.php file but it just deletes all the content inside that file and I received the same error message you did.

The only solution I see for now is to edit the file on your computer and upload it via FTP, if you know how to do that. I imagine they will have a fix to this problem once a update to the WordPress core is released.

I think you will need to re-upload the hero.php file via FTP since the content of the file is probably gone.

You can add the target attribute to the links to that they open in a new tab/window.

Let me know if that doesn’t answer your question.

Hans – should have read this before responding to our other thread…will FTP the hero.php but I am still not sure at what point/spot on Lines 29 and 42 to enter target=”_blank”

That said, I will play with it and get back to you today.

Thanks again

Hans
With the one exception being that I haven’t figured out where to place target=”_blank” to get the buttons to open in a new tab, everything else looks to be working extremely well.

Thanks.

And if you can show me exactly where in the code to place target=”_blank”, I will take care of that.

Pat

Hi Pat,

Here is a copy of the hero.php file with the code you need.

Download it and then upload via FTP. You should be good to go after that.

Hans – you rock! Thank you for everything.
