Hello

I was using Google Chrome’s Lighthouse (https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/#devtools) to run an audit of my WordPress site (using your excellent Enfold theme)

It showed up that the social media links generated by social profiles in Enfold do not add rel="noopener"

https://developers.google.com/web/tools/lighthouse/audits/noopener

It showed a few different issues to be fair, it might be worth you guys running it and seeing what you can fix.

Thanks

Andy

Hey kaylanx,

Thank you for using Enfold.

You can use the following script in the functions.php file to apply a rel attribute to the social media icons.
```
add_action('wp_footer', 'ava_custom_script');
function ava_custom_script(){
	?>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	(function($) {
		function a() {
			$('#top #wrap_all .social_bookmarks li a').each(function(){
			  $(this).attr('rel', 'noopener');
			});
		}
		
		a();
	})(jQuery);
	</script>
	<?php
}
```
Best regards,
Ismael

Hi,

thanks for the answer. I had the same question.

Unfortunately the test reports same issue again, so the script won´t work maybe. May social buttons are next to main menu. I i remove them, the message disappears.

Regards

Hi,

Did you purge the cache after adding the script? Please provide a link to a page with the social media links.

Hi,

My fault. I didn’t notice that the filter was commented out. It was actually disabled. Please try the code again.

We would like to test the script. Please provide the WP login details. Make sure that the Appearance > Editor panel is accessible.

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

The “wp-admin” and “wp-login” path leads to a 404 page. I also tried “login”. What is the actual login url?

Hi,

Thanks for the update.

We implemented the code and confirmed that the social icons have the rel attribute set to “noopener”.

Hi Werk32,

If the code is in the child theme functions.php it will, otherwise it will be lost.

If you need further assistance please let us know.

I got around this by using the Real Time Find and Replace plugin:

https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/real-time-find-and-replace

I added the find as target='_blank' and the replace as target='_blank' rel='noopener'

However, the reason I initially raised this issue wasn’t for a work around like mine or like the code change you have suggested. It was to point out that there is an issue with Enfold that needs to be fixed in a release of the the theme, not patched by the end users of your theme.

Thanks

Andy.

Hello,
I also would like to add a function for the “Advertising Area” widget links – how would I have to modify the function?

<a target="_blank" href="https://www.domain.com/" class="preloading_background avia_partner2 link_list_item1 ">...</a>

Best regards,

Hi,

Please add this code to your child theme functions.php – it will add the noopener attribute to all partner widget links:
```
function avia_add_noopener_to_links(){
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
(function($) {
$('.avia_partner1, .avia_partner2').each(function(){
	var a = $(this);
	var originalRel = (this.rel === undefined) ? '' : this.rel.toLowerCase();
	var newRel = originalRel.split(" ");
	if (originalRel.indexOf('noopener') === -1) newRel.push('noopener');
	a.attr('rel', newRel.join(" ").trim());
});
})(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}
add_action('wp_footer', 'avia_add_noopener_to_links');
```
Best regards,
Peter
