    Hi kyao,

    I addressed this question in another post a little while back.

    All you would need to do is create a child theme for whatever theme you are using and add the following lines to your functions.php file:

    function dg_target_blank(){ ?>
  jQuery.ready( function(){
    jQuery('.document-icon > a').attr('target', '_blank');
  }
<?php }
add_action( 'wp_print_footer_scripts', 'dg_target_blank' );

    At this time I do not want to add this functionality to the shortcode, though some changes are in the work which, when I have time to complete them, will drastically change a number of current functionalities, including allowing you to open documents in different locations.

    I already have a Child Theme functions.php file with various filters and actions for another Plugin.

    I tried adding the code above and it broke the entire site because of the
    <?php }

    How would I add the function and action above to a file that already has an opening tag
    <?php

    Yes, I am a complete PHP ignoramus, so simple instructions much appreciated!
    Thanks

    PHP is designed to be able to be started and stopped throughout a given file, so the syntax as written should be fine as long as you start it within an existing PHP starting tag (<?php).

    If you really wish to remove the start and stop of PHP, it gets uglier…

    function dg_target_blank(){
  echo 'jQuery.ready( function(){';
  echo '  jQuery(".document-icon > a").attr("target", "_blank");';
  echo '}';
}
add_action( 'wp_print_footer_scripts', 'dg_target_blank' );

    NOTICE: I am moderately drunk as of writing this, so take with a grain of salt.

    I tried the code above!

    It did not work, the PDF documents still open in the same window.

    Plus it adds the following code to the bottom of each page

    jQuery.ready( function(){ jQuery(“.document-icon > a”).attr(“target”, “_blank”);}

    Sorry,

    It should be this:

    function dg_target_blank(){ ?>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    jQuery.ready( function(){
      jQuery('.document-icon > a').attr('target', '_blank');
    }
  </script>
<?php }
add_action( 'wp_print_footer_scripts', 'dg_target_blank' );

    Or this:

    function dg_target_blank(){
  echo '<script type="text/javascript">';
  echo '  jQuery.ready( function(){';
  echo '    jQuery(".document-icon > a").attr("target", "_blank");';
  echo '  }';
  echo '</script>';
}
add_action( 'wp_print_footer_scripts', 'dg_target_blank' );

    No, neither worked. I tried different browsers.

    Plus had syntax error in first option for the line with closing </script> before opening <?php

    At least the piece of code has gone from bottom of each page!

    Sorry about that!

    Finally actually tried the code myself. I was botching my jQuery syntax… This is tested and works:

    function dg_target_blank(){ ?>
<script type="text/javascript">
  jQuery(document).ready( function(){
      jQuery('.document-icon > a').attr('target', '_blank');
  } );
</script>
<?php }
add_action( 'wp_print_footer_scripts', 'dg_target_blank' );

    You can also echo each line and remove the opening/closing PHP tags if you like.

    -Dan

    I added the code and still no luck. I tried different browsers.

    Now I am wondering if the problem is a conflict with another plugin and/or the fact the page requires prior login to view. Only other active plugin is WP-Members (Chad Butler).

    You are welcome to take a look. Site is still under construction

    It it helps, here is the code in the child theme functions . php

    <?php

		}

	} else {

    Just looked at the site you linked to and the issue is that you don’t have jQuery loaded anywhere. WordPress includes jQuery so something custom you’re doing is removing that. If you fix that, the code I gave you should work.

    Dan, thanks for pin pointing the problem. I have added plugin WP jQuery Plus and now the documents open in a new window.

    Thanks again.

    No problem, Toni.

    I would look into why jQuery is missing. A plugin/theme you’re running is removing it and it shouldn’t. You shouldn’t need a 3rd-party plugin to get jQuery back.

    All the best!

    I have a similar question, but I want to open some text in a sidebar. I have an imagemap of our state with the different cities where our schools are located. I have been able to click on the town and the city name pops up, but I’d like it to open in a sidebar with the project summary. This is how I want people to see our previous years’ projects. I am brand new at this so any help is appreciated. Thanks.
