Hi everyone,

The current site build I’m working on needs to meet WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. To prepare for that I can’t really use new tab links, and it seems by default the built-in social links all default to opening a new tab. Can we get a setting added for the social links that allow us to open in the same tab?

Another accessibility issue I’m solving today that may be useful to add to Kadence Theme is the ability to show the user a warning when they click on an external link. You can see an example of this type of behaviour here:

Click one of the two links in the first post, and see how it warns the user they are leaving. A toggle for this could help users who need to build accessible sites and give Kadence Theme an edge. I’ll probably write up a filter or something to fix this up for now but I wanted to make you all aware just in case it was an easy thing to add.
