    Hi there,

    I love the simplicity of your plugin and how you are adding the hidden text for Logos for accessibility issues.

    I did come across another issue when testing the plugin on this site:
    https://www.webaccessibility.com

    The violation is that the links open in new windows without a warning:
    “Ensure links or controls that open new windows or frames do not open without a warning”

    Is there any way to combat this – either to add a warning or to open links in same page/pop up?

    Many thanks!
    John

    Hi John, thanks for the question. You can change the link behavior to make your buttons open on the same page, using a filter on the link target. Something like this should make all of the buttons do this:

    
add_filter( 'scriptlesssocialsharing_link_target', '__return_empty_string' );

    You can add the filter to your theme’s functions.php file, a custom plugin, or wherever you keep custom code. Just practice safe coding and make sure things are backed up. HTH
