Well, the client side caching is just about who already went on your page…

I had the same issue with any kind of link opening in new windows. So I tried the suggestions you all gave and just Checking and Unchecking the Link Style and Effects settings worked great for my site! Thanks!

I have this same issue. No amount of fiddling with the “open external links in new tab” fixes this. Turned it on, saved, turned it off, saved. Cleared caches in the browser (chrome), restarted browser, still there. The “target=_blank” is still on every external link. Tried in Safari, which I haven’t used in months. Still there.

Something’s definitely broken here.

Hi clwill,
a link to your site helps.
Also the issue should have been fixed in 3.2.16, and latest customizr version is 3.2.17

Thanks. The site is https://familylemonadestand.com, and it’s running WP 4.1 with customizr 3.2.17.

Mmm cannot see this external link issue, for example in the screenshot below “Follow us on Facebook!” is an external link and doesn’t have the “target=_blank”. Can you provide an example?

If I disable javascript I still see the target=_blank, since the customizr feature is all developed in javascript, this means that:
1) you already put the target blank in that page content
or
2) you have some functions/plugin which does that

So what we have to understand is just why some links aren’t recognized as external by customizr..

Sure, every link on this page: https://familylemonadestand.com/productivity/

Thanks,
so for you it’s the same I told in the post above to stellamaris.
I opened your page without javascript (just to be sure), and those “target=_blank” are still there. The only Customizr function which adds the “target=_blank” is developed in javascript, so Customizr isn’t putting that “target=_blank” there.
Also, always with js enabled, Customizr puts that “target=_blank” only if here:

/* <![CDATA[ */
var TCParams = {"FancyBoxState":"1","FancyBoxAutoscale":"1","SliderName":"","SliderDelay":"","SliderHover":"1","SmoothScroll":"linear","ReorderBlocks":"1","CenterSlides":"1","HasComments":"","LeftSidebarClass":".span3.left.tc-sidebar","RightSidebarClass":".span3.right.tc-sidebar","LoadModernizr":"1","stickyCustomOffset":"0","stickyHeader":"","dropdowntoViewport":"","timerOnScrollAllBrowsers":"1","extLinksStyle":"","extLinksTargetExt":"","dropcapEnabled":"","dropcapWhere":{"post":"","page":"1"},"dropcapMinWords":"50","skipSelectors":{"tags":["IMG","IFRAME","H1","H2","H3","H4","H5","H6","BLOCKQUOTE"],"classes":[],"id":[]}};
/* ]]> */

this "extLinksTargetExt" isn’t "".
So you have to look for the real cause somewhere else.
(points 1 & 2 for stellamaris could be a good start ^)

AND… nevermind. I see that the user has declared those links with the WP link tool (in the editor) specifically asking that the be opened in an external tab. Will have them fix those.

Sorry for the false alarm.

I always put external links to open in new tab so all of my external links are the same or should be. So for my case it’s something else. It’s not a big issue though

And I haven’t changed anything since updating customizr. I just noticed the arrows showing users that they open in new tab and noticed those two that are not. (So far)

Ok, fine ??
