Link not opening in new tab

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
I have this code in the Template for Wordpress Archive in layouts:

<h1>[wpv-post-link target="_blank"]</h1>

The post link is not opening in a new tab.

Solution:
[wpv-post-link] shortcode does not take target attribute, please try this code and it will work fine, replace 1st line in your above code with this one:

<a href="[wpv-post-url]" target="_blank"><h1>[wpv-post-title]</h1></a>

I have this code in the Template for WordPress Archive in layouts:

<h1>[wpv-post-link target="_blank"]</h1>
[wpv-post-excerpt]
[wpv-post-body view_template="None"]
[wpv-post-featured-image]
Posted on [wpv-post-date]

The post link is not opening in a new tab, what am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

Thanks.

Thank you. That worked prefect. And thanks for the shortcodes link. I wasn't finding it on the site, obviously I overlooked it. Being new to Toolset, it's an awesome plugin, just takes some learning. 🙂

Thanks.
