Social Media Icons (Social Profiles) – Open Mail Into A New Tab

Hi vantagepointmg,

In the Special Icon URL, try putting mailto: here’s an example:

mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) 

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Nikko

Hi vantagepointmg,

Can you give us a link to the site? so we can have a closer look.

Hi vantagepointmg,

Can you give us temporary admin access to your website in the private content box below, so that we can have a closer look?

Best regards,

Hi vantagepointmg,

I have added this code at the bottom of functions.php:

function mail_in_newtab(){
?>
<script>
    (function() {
        var links = document.querySelectorAll('a[href^=mailto]');
        links.forEach(function(link) {
            link.target = "_blank";
        });
    })(); 
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'mail_in_newtab');

This code add target=”_blank” attribute to all links that will use mail.
Please review your site and let us know your feedback.

Also, this change I made will be removed during the theme update (overwritten), so I would suggest to use a child theme, which you can download from and find instructions on how to use: https://kriesi.at/documentation/enfold/child-theme/
Then remove the code from the parent theme’s functions.php and add it on the child theme’s functions.php file.

Best regards,
Nikko
