I created a "customized link" selection in the main navigation menu for my wordpress page to open external link.  I'm trying to open external page in iframe as layer.  I purchased the pro version.  I tried different jquery options for "change parent links target, none worked.  I then just set the "External" option which should also work because its a different domain being opened.  This does not work either.  I havent tested this except on the navigation menu but I was led to believe this would work.  Appreciate any help.

Hi, please check my answer I have sent you by e-mail.

Also a{{href='blizzfull.com'}} is not right. You have to specify the whole url 1:1. - not only a part of it.

If "external" is not working then please check the browser console with F12 - because most likely then there is a Javascript error in the code which causes the feature to fail!

You have an example page? Because in the rendered code it can be easily seen is the code is rendered right.

Best regards, Michael

I don't see any javascript errors that I can see.

Do I need to actually throw the shortcode somewhere?  My understanding was the iframe in a layer with a target or as external does not need a shortcode??

@blarg3891 the shortcode has to be on the page where you want to have the feature enabled. The whole plugin works with shortcodes. Otherwise no code is rendered at all.

I tried "insert an iframe on all pages." based on the description, I thought it may solve the problem but no luck yet.
