This is the third time I am asking.
The Web site in question is industrialvalve.co.za and it has over 100 downloads, one for each product displayed. I need to have the downloads open in a new tab when the download button is clicked so that visitors dont leave the Web site when they close the download.
It is built using the Divi theme and the free version of Download Manager
One investigation I read that there is a shortcode that can be used to achieve this that I found here https://www.wpdownloadmanager.com/support/topic/how-to-open-a-pdf-in-a-new-tab-rather-than-the-direct-download/#post-174252
When I try this by putting the short code into the custom css I get the following error Expected RBRACKET at line 12, column 19.
How do I achieve this simple thing? Do I need to purchase the pro version or where do I use the shortcode to achieve opening the pdf in a new tab?
Thank you
Hi,
Thank you for your query.
There is no such shortcode to achieve the new tab functionality.
Also, you can’t put a shortcode inside a CSS.
Apart from that, Please ensure that you have enabled the Open in Browser option in the WPDM settings section, which should resolve the issue.

Hello! I don’t see that option in my settings…
