    Hi,

    You can either use Javascript to do this on your website or override the template or use a filter for the particular links you want to redirect. For social links, you can override the bootstrap/button-group.php file in your theme and add target=”_blank” to the link.

    If i override the button-group.php file i will need to update it after every plugin update.

    I don’t use a theme (Oxygen Builder) so my process will be a little different. So i use this process https://wpdevdesign.com/a-basic-wordpress-custom-functionality-plugin/

    For anyone wanting to know.

    Do you have any filters i can call to create the same functionality like below

    
    
    add_filter( 'woocommerce_locate_template', 'intercept_wc_template', 10, 3 );
    /**
     * Filter the cart template path to use cart.php in this plugin instead of the one in WooCommerce.
     *
     * @param string $template      Default template file path.
     * @param string $template_name Template file slug.
     * @param string $template_path Template file name.
     *
     * @return string The new Template file path.
     */
    function intercept_wc_template( $template, $template_name, $template_path ) {
    
    	$template_directory = trailingslashit( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) ) . 'woocommerce/';
    	$path = $template_directory . $template_name;
    
    	return file_exists( $path ) ? $path : $template;
    
    }

    this allows me to Filter the cart template path to use cart.php in this plugin instead of the one in WooCommerce. Can i do something similar with Userswp?

    Hi,

    The templates you override in your theme will not be needed to update at every plugin updates as updates only overwrite the files in the plugin and not in the theme. So, create a folder called userswp/bootstrap and put the button-group.php in that with the modifications you needed and let me know if it helps.
