  I’ve searched and can’t seem to find an answer, so my apologies if it has been covered.

  The email link goes to a 404 error page, is there a quick fix for that? And, is there a way to force the other social media links to open in a new window (this may also solve the email issue)?

  As always, thanks for your help!

Hi,
In your plugins folder, find t4p-core/shortcodes/class-person.php
and replace the entire contents of the file with the code from here http://pastebin.com/qu5JHnpA
Fixes the email address bug.
I also changed the default linktarget to open new tab.
Thanks!

One more quick question Denzel – when clicking on the mail icon, it creates a new “untitled” tab and opens Outlook to send mail. All Good. But, it doesn’t close the “untitled” tab. So the blank white page is visible and I have to close it or click back to the tab with the website. Is there a quick fix for that?

Hi,
Sorry, I don’t have a fix for that.
That’s probably why by default design, the author has them open in _self and not _blank
Thanks!

This may be too late to be of help to Jackie, but I found that by adding “mailto:” to the email address in the person shortcode, the email icon will open in the default email program without opening a blank tab/window.
email="mailto:[email protected]"
