How to set the target window for event url?

[zafari]

I need to set the target to new window for the event url that displays on the event single page. How can I do this? It seems like a pretty basic feature that should already be in place….. thanks!

Hi Pamela!

Thanks for getting in touch with us. Let me help you with this topic.

By default the event website URL is targeted to open in the same tab, but we provide a filter to change exactly that.

You can copy and paste the following snippet into your functions.php file to accomplish that:

add_filter( 'tribe_get_event_website_link_target', 'blank_target_for_new_window' );
function blank_target_for_new_window() {
return '_blank';
}

Please try it out and let me know if it works for your site.

Thanks,
Victor

Hello Victor!

Thanks so much. I actually ended up following your tutorial to change
the Event URL to a button that opens in a new window so that part is
set. However, I’d like to use your solution below to also open the
Organizer Website in a new window. What should I substitute for
“tribe_get_event_website_link_target” to accomplish this?

Thanks so much for our help!!!

Sure thing Pamela!

For the organizer website link, you can use the tribe_get_organizer_website_link_target filter instead.

I hope that helps! 🙂

Best,
Victor
