Blog grid — title, excerpt and read more link with post type link

Hey Ismael, there are many reasons why I love Enfold — an amazing support forum is definitely one of them and this works perfectly, thank you. One final question related to the link. I’ve added the following to the functions file to force links to open a new page:

add_filter('wp_footer', 'avf_add_target_blank', 10);
function avf_add_target_blank() { ?>
<script>
(function($){
    $(window).load(function() {
    	$( ".avia-content-slider .slide-entry-title a, .more-link" ).each(function() {
			$(this).attr('target','_blank');  
		});
    });
	
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}

It correctly adds target=”_blank” to the code but for some reason doesn’t open a blank page.

I’ve tried a.more-link, .more-link a, .read-more-link .more-link a, but still no luck. Am I missing something?

Thanks
Richard

Hey Mike, not a problem, we all need a weekend ;-)

I’ve adjusted the code but then the site wouldn’t load. I tried changing the PHP version but no luck. I’m running 4.8.1 with PHP 7.4.16

Thanks
Richard

Thanks Ismael. With a slight tweak it works perfectly, thank you.

Final code (that works for blog grid) if anyone else needs it:

// a custom script
// use external link
function ava_custom_script_mod() {
    if ( wp_script_is( 'avia-default', 'registered' ) ) {
        wp_add_inline_script( 'avia-default', '
		(function($) {
			$(document).ready(function() {
				$(".post-format-link .more-link").on("click", function(e) {
					if(e.preventDefault) e.preventDefault();
					var content = $(this).parents(".slide-content");
					var header = content.find(".entry-content-header");
					var external_link = header.find("a").attr("href");

					window.open(external_link, "_blank" );
				})
			});
		})(jQuery);
	');
    }
 }
 add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'ava_custom_script_mod', 9999);
