Hi, trying to get wpv-post-link item to open in a new window in VIEW results, have tried the below code but it's not working

<a href="[wpv-post-url]" target="_blank">[wpv-post-link item="@occupier.parent"]</a>

Hello, the wpv-post-link shortcode creates the link tag for you, so you're essentially wrapping the link in another link when you place wpv-post-link inside another link tag. That produces invalid HTML. If you want to create your own link tag manually in HTML to insert a target attribute, then you should use the wpv-post-title shortcode instead of the wpv-post-link shortcode inside the link tag. The syntax you are looking for is like this:

<a href="[wpv-post-url]" target="_blank">[wpv-post-title]</a>

However, I can see you have @occupier.parent in your wpv-post-link shortcode. Are you trying to link to a related post from a post reference field or post relationship, and show the related post's title in the link text?

Hi Christian, yes that's the syntax we copied from. The link is working just not opening in a new window.

It's a post relationship but I think we may have unnecessarily doubled up and used a post reference too, as the bulk import we did, didn't seem to connect the relationship without the post reference and also the VIEW option for liking the post title of the post relationship was grayed out too.

I see, so you'll need to add the item attribute to the URL shortcode as well as the title shortcode:

<a href="[wpv-post-url item="@occupier.parent"]" target="_blank">[wpv-post-title item="@occupier.parent"]</a>

Does that work correctly now?

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
