XF 2.3 Adding a link to the footer. It worked, but...

[FoP]

So I want to add a link to an About Us page in the footer and have been playing in a demo with it.

First I went this route:
-create a phrase
-create a page
-modify the page container, insert this code into the footer:

<div class="footer-button">
<a href="{{ link('pages/about-us') }}" class="button">About Us</a>
</div>

The button worked fine, linking to the About Us page but getting the button in the right place and styling it was a problem. After putting some code in extra.less this was my best result:



What I want however is to have a discreet link like the ones already there and positioned let's say, before "Contact us".

So then I just put in a link with this code in the footer, right after linkList:

<li><a href="pages/about-us/" target="_blank">About us</a></li>

That worked beautifully:



Except the link opens the About us page in a new tab. So, my question is how do I get the link to open the About us page in the same tab, like the other links there do?

Or is this a bad way to do it?

You shouldn’t have target=“_blank” in the link if you want to open in the same tab

Remove target="_blank"

Oh, you guys are quick! Thank you so much @Mr Lucky and @Old Nick. Much appreciated!

EDIT: You both gave the solution, at the same time, so I just upvoted you both...
