  Hi, I am trying to work out how to get my social media buttons (they are in a widget) to open in a new page.

  My website is http://www.aealuxury.com.au

  Thank you in advance!

  If you put them in a text widget, format the link so that it opens in a new page.

  Thank you raincoaster, I did this but they appear with a box around them and the icons go down instead of across, are you able to help with this?

  Hey kateevans023, your site is a self-hosted wordpress.org install, so you’ll be able to get more specific help at the wordpress.org support forums.

  This forum is for hosted wordpress.com sites: .com and .org

  As for your question when you repost it over there, it’s hard to give a quick answer without seeing a page or getting more details. Let them know what type of widget you’re using, give a link to the widget in action, etc. Good luck!
