    How can I make the social icons open in a new window. I would rather not take people off my site for external links.

    Also.. any plans to add youtube to that list? Currently, in my sandbox, I use the video link for youtube but the icon might confuse visitors…

    Dig the theme .. very nicely done.

    You can find those links in sidebar-header.php, just add the attribute target=”_blank” to the links. This is considered a usability issue and will not be added to the theme by default, nor as an option.

    More social media icons are planned, among them YouTube.

    Hi,

    First off all I want to express my respect for the awesome Pinboard theme!

    I’m stuck at the ‘redirecting’ of the social media icons to a blank page… What am I doing wrong, because the mentioned solutions don’t work for me…

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello Hypermedia,

    Thank you for your help.
    I did change the settings in the sidebar-header.php file in the content of my pinboard theme, but when I want to reload (upload) the file to my website with ftp (I use fileZilla), then I don’t succeed :-(. I always get the notification : 553 Can’t open the file : permission denied

    Do you know what goes wrong ?

    Hereunder I send you my php file :

    Facebook

    Twitter

    Pinterest

    Flickr

    Vimeo

    Vimeo

    Google+

    Dribble

    LinkedIn

    Thank you for your help

    This is a permissions issue on your server. If you’re logging in as the owner, you should be able to write your files to the server.

    You could either try to change the permissions on your directory (in FZ, right-click on WordPress folder and choose File Permissions, change Owner Permissions to Read/Write) or contact your web host.
