   Hi,

   Go to the theme folder, and open the file "lib/includes/featured-custom.php". In line #110 you will find this code:

   <a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"></a>

   Replace it with:

   <a href="http://yourlink.com"></a>

   Then, open the file "lib/includes/featured-categories.php" and in line #81, make the same replacement.

   Try that and let us know the results.

   I have downloaded yesterday the wp3.2 version of infocus, but in the folder lib there is no folder includes. Where can I find the file you mentioned?

   Hope you can help me.

   Hello,

   In the new version of the theme, the code is located in a different place. Open the file "lib/functions/theme.php". In line #675 you will find this code:

   $home_text .= '<a class="button_link call_to_action alignright" href="' . esc_url( $btn_link ) . '"><span>' . stripslashes( $teaser_button_text ) . '</span></a>';

   Replace it with:

   $home_text .= '<a class="button_link call_to_action alignright" href="' . esc_url( $btn_link ) . '" target="_blank"><span>' . stripslashes( $teaser_button_text ) . '</span></a>';

   Try that and let us know the results.

   Hi,

   Original text and proposed text are the same in your post. BTW, I want to link to an internal link. Can you give me both options?

   Thanks in advance.

   Hello,

   I provided you a code tweak, so the link is opened in a new tab. You can define the URL of the button in the theme options panel, inside the "Homepage" section.

   Take a look at this guide, it might be helpful: http://mysitemyway.com/docs/index.php?title=Homepage#Call_to_Action

   I was able to solve this issue with the "Get started"-button on the homepage. Thanks for your help.

   How can i link to an internal page via the "Get started"-button in the "Pricing boxes"?

   Hello Quantmania,

   You can navigate to Dashboard -> your theme -> Homepage and set a custom link for your get started button. As for linking inside a page see here, http://w3schools.com/html/html_links.asp.
