Open this link in a new tab not working in visual composer post grid #56

Love the plugin and have used it flawlessly in many Wordpress sites. When using Visual Composer post grid, the custom url will load but ignore the "open this link in a new tab"

Actually found out it is due to a Visual Composer class : vc_gitem-link class which does not support opening the link in a new tab. I'm closing this.

So that VC class forces it to NOT open in a new tab? Like, it's fighting with my plugin?

Yeah I found a thread on Theme forest and this is what Visual Composer said: "Hello, The issue is due to vc_gitem-link class which does not support opening the link in a new tab. You can target it html custom js to remove the class added to it."

Happy to send you the email privately

Ah, thanks. The thread had a website where I could see the code that causes it.
