I just finished reading an article on new tabs and accessibility, too. I think I’ll keep the plugin forcing the link into the same tab and add a note about right-clicking to open in a new tab if you want to.

The idea for opening in a new tab is to be able to refer to a model independently of where you are on the site.

It is also because, when I translate the page, I can’t translate the H5P interactive image that is on it. So I created one H5P image in French and one in English. When you are on the French site, there is the note “to see this in French, click here.” and I think in that case, it would be nice to have it in another tab or even window so people can look at it side by side with the page they are reading (if that makes sense.)

Thank you!

Hi – I have been in contact with them about another issue, the plugin is supposedly compatible with block themes. I will update this post when I hear from them about this question specifically.

Thank you! The culprit is my One Click Accessibility plugin. As soon as I enabled that one in troubleshooting mode, it no longer opened in a new tab.

Shoot. Is this an accessibility feature? Or maybe I need to find another accessibility plugin.

Thanks again!

Thanks – I am nervous about deactivating my translation plugin. Will deactivating it mess up all my translations? (TranslatePress)

Thanks for your help!

“Whenever a French reader enters a search term, looks at an author’s page, browses categories or runs into a 404 page, they’ll be looking at a foreign language header all of a sudden.”

The header is translated across the board, and the content will also be translated if it includes strings that have previously been translated.

For the 404 page, for example, your header and footer will show in whatever language is selected. In order to translate the content, you need to navigate to the page while logged in to WordPress and you have an option to translate the page (or any page/post/etc…) in the admin bar at the top.

I am not sure if I understand this correctly – is it that you need the menu to change language depending on the language of the site? I create sites in English and French and use translatepress, which translates the menu items.

Here is an example with 2022 theme (translation in progress, only the home page has been translated so far.) The only issue I have not been able to solve so far is placing the EN and FR links into the navigation. But users can switch using the floating language switcher at the top right of the page.

@czapla – thank you and I am sorry for dropping this 2 months ago! Travel for work back then, then the winter break, then illness … I am trying to apply this fix now.

Ok. So I created a general template part called bottom header contents and when I paste the contents in… it pasted them in as a header. That had me flummoxed for a moment. But then I saw that I could copy the contents of the header easily via the outline on the left sidebar without copying the header designation (thank you for introducing me to that outline list feature!)

I think it works now. I feel like I may still have some playing around to do with content widths for different elements on different templates but it looks pretty much like it did before and with only one header.

Thank you SO much for sticking through this with me! It’s the beginning of a site that will likely grow much larger so having correct structure is important for me. Especially now that I need to translate the whole thing into another language… ??

Hopefully I don’t have any other major structural issues I need to resolve.

Find out what page template you are using for the front page and use the same one for all the other pages. That should work.
(You find out by going to the page editor and choosing page (not block) in the right sidebar. It should tell you what template you are using and click on it to change it.)

And then check if the navigation block is part of a group (which it likely is.) It could be that the group has a colour setting that is overriding the navigation block setting.

That happened to me with a site title issue I had. I fixed it by resetting the group colour settings to no colours.

I hope some of this is helpful!

If you haven’t yet, try changing the link colour instead of the text colour in the navigation block.

Hello,
Ok, I had only been checking the actual header blocks in terms of the colour settings. Using the 3 horizontal lines, I see what you mean now about the group blocks. I think if I reset those blocks, I should be able to modify the colours of all the blocks within the group.

(Though, it still doesn’t explain why I was able to customize all other blocks within the group except for the site title.)

And yes, that worked – I removed the custom css and my title appears on the homepage – yay and thank you!

As for the headers.
I have a feeling it is from my attempt at separating the navigation from the logo + title. So that logo + title are grouped horizontally and the navigation is stacked under them.
(I tried so many ways, so it is hard to pinpoint exactly how I got the result I wanted now, a few months later.) But they both point to the same block, as in, if I delete either of them, the header disappears.

(And now that I think of it… if the navigation and the logo+title are in separate header blocks, that would possibly explain why I could modify the nav but not the title.)

So what do you suggest re: the nested headers?
Is there any other way to get the result I described?

Thanks again for plugging away at this with me!

Did you save the change and check the site (not in the editor) once the change was saved?
I noticed the same thing but on the live site, the navigation links changed colour.

Could the nested header issue be caused by a static page being used as the front page? So it would be using the page template + being given the front page template when its used as front page? I don’t know, thinking out loud here…

Thank you for looking into this further! It helped me to find a fix for now ??

But first, to respond to your question about nested headers.
I am trying to remember how I created this, if it was me who did.

I *may* have separated the navigation from the header block so that it would appear below the side-by-side logo + title and not all stacked on top of each other. I highlight may because I tried many ways and I’m really not sure which one eventually worked.

Also, when I look at the template part, it is Header (dark, large) and within it, it seems to call on Header (dark, small). And any customizations I make do work on the navigation block but not the site title block (see slides here, I added new ones.)

Since I haven’t changed anything specific to make this happen… and it seems to have happened directly after the latest update… is it possible that somewhere in the background, code has changed to make this happen?

Inspector reveals that there is a setting for all text in this header to be white. And it seems that this setting may be overriding the custom changes to text and link colours in the site editor but only for the site title, not the navigation block or cover block. (see slides 6 and 7 at the link above)

So… my fix is to add custom css for site title h1 (see slide 8 in link above). It seems strangely separate from the other elements of the header (but only on the homepage, which used Header (dark, large). This wasn’t happening on the other pages, which uses Page, no separators and calls on Header (not large or small or dark or whatever) (which is also called on within the dark large header page… so that may be the nested blocks issue? But I am pretty sure I didn’t do that, it’s how it came ?? )

I hope all of this makes some kind of sense to you and thanks so much for all your support!

Thank you, I appreciate that so much. I feel like I have stared at it for so long that I am no longer able to see anything!
