Hello all,

Does anybody know how I can manage to have the links of the slider images open in a new window? I am using child theme and use Graphene page specific options to show images in the slider and to link to external sites.

I did try to find a solution on this forum, but had no luck.

Thanks!

Zack

Hacking theme core is not a good practice. But, here is the quick solution,

Open theme-slider.php file (it's in graphene/includes directory) and scroll to 158th line. And replace,
```
<a href="<?php echo $slider_link_url; ?>"><?php echo $image; ?></a>
```
with
```
<a href="<?php echo $slider_link_url; ?>" target="_blank"><?php echo $image; ?></a>
```
You'll need to edit this whenever you update the theme. However let me check if it is a good idea to add option to open links in a new window.

Thank you, Prasanna!

This will do for now, as it resolves my "problem" for now until the next update.

Best,

Zack
