Open Flipbook in New Tabs (Pro)

This can be useful when you have thumb/button popups in one page. And when they are clicked they open in new tab.

Remember Flipbooks cannot just open in a tab like PDFs open in browser tab. They need to open inside your site using a page URL.


Requirements:

Normally a page is required to display a flipbook. It self cannot exist in a browser tabs without being inside a page from your site. In-fact this solution opens in a flipbook post page. Example: https://wordpress.dearflip.com/books/meat-atlas/

This Feature Requires dFlip Posts Setting to be enabled. After enabling/Disabling . It is necessary to Goto WpAdmin->Settings->Permalinks and click on save button to update the permalinks.

Once the permalinks are saved, The individual flipbook posts get their own permalink.


Using Shortcode:

Opening that page using thumb/button popups is possible from version 2.1 using Shortcode

Instead of Shortcode you can use the setup for through out your site using Global Settings. Under Popup/Lightbox tab set the Popup Target setting to New Tab.
