hyperlinks in minitab element get target=”_blank” option removed

  • Hi,
    Inside a text-block element on a tab of a minitab element, I have a hyperlink to an external web-page that I would like to open in an extra tab of the browser. Using the backend editor, I define the link ticking the open in new tab option and check the html it should translate to by clicking the text tab of the editor which in fact gives me:

    <a href="https://www.atc.bo.it/orari_percorsi" target="_blank">https://www.atc.bo.it/orari_percorsi</a>

    However, for some reason when I check the actual web page, the link does not open in an new tab and when inspect the dynamically generated html in fact the target=”_blank” option is missing,

    When I do the same thing in a text block element outside the minitab element, everything works fine.

    Does anybody have any thoughts why the minitab element would eliminate the target=”_blank” option?

    Many thanks.

  • I’m guessing your editing the page in the Visual tab of WordPress.
    How about if you click on the Text tab, add the link in that tap and press Update.

    I’ve noticed that some themes sometimes remove HTML code in the Visual tab.

    Tried that, doesn’t change. In fact when I edit in the visual mode and tick the “open in new tab” option and then change to text mode the target="_blank" option appears in the meta-code, but when looking at the html of the final page, it has vanished.
    Same, if I add the hyperlink in text mode to start from.

    Thanks anyway.
