    Hi,

    I have 3 questions related to linking out to Places’ websites:

    1. How/where do I kill the “chain link” icon?
    2. How/where do I kill the window-spawning behaviour (the 

    target="_blank"

    argument on the anchor)?
    3. How can I change “Visit our website” to “Visit the %%title%% website”?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    1 with custom css:

    

    .fa.fa-link {
    display: none;
}
    

    2 This I don’t think it is possible without modifying core file, i asked to the developers to confirm
    

    3 Please see: https://wpgeodirectory.com/support/topic/changing-website-link-anchor-text-to-show-full-address/
    

    Thanks

    Thanks for this; I’ll give the CSS a try.
    

    As for forcing links to open in new tabs or windows, this has been a widely-recognized terrible idea literally for decades, now. Yes, clients often ask for it, because they don’t understand the UX implications, but hard-coding this is a terrible, terrible idea.
    

    Please ask the developers to consider making this either optional or impossible.
    

    I’ll look into the functions.php link you’ve provided; looks promising. Many thanks!

    we have few thousands users and nobody complained about it till today.
    

    If you request this here: https://wpgeodirectory.com/requests/ and many other members will vote for it, we will definitely take action.
    

    Thank you
