Footer widget pop-up window?

Hi,
I can’t figure out how to make a footer widget hyperlink to open up as a pop-up window. Is it possible and how?

Best regards, Niklas

    Hi,
    This is the widget “pages” so I can´t put any html in it. Unless I can edit some css?

    Hi lovefall

    To summarise the info provided here:

    If you’re adding a link to your footer copyright text, that can be done from Appearance > Theme Settings > General > Site Information Text. To add a link there you would use HTML like James directed:

    <a href="http://www.w3schools.com" target="_blank">Visit W3Schools</a> 
    

    The same goes for the footer widget area. There you could insert a Text widget and use the same HTML. OR if using the Visual Editor widget, click over to the Text tab and insert the HTML James sent.

    However if you’re using the Visual Editor widget then the easiest solution is to use the Link button that widget offers. In that dialogue that pops up is a checkbox to enable the link to open in a new window/tab.

    Hope that helps get you up and running.

    However, if by pop-up window you mean a lightbox, that’s another story. You’ll need a lightbox plugin for that.

    You´re right, that is the easiest way. I was thinking to add hyperlinks to the widget “pages” but this is a much easier solution.
    Thanks!
