Whenever I have a link in the topic and set it to open in a new window by using target=blank it does not work. It opens in same window. Even though I use target=blank, it disappears when I click on Edit to see if it is still there.

Thanks.

It’s target="_blank", make sure you have the underscore. Otherwise, got an example? Are you using __ck__’s plugin to add _blank?

I do the “_blank” thing. It disappears. Is there a plugin to make it work that way?

Thanks.

What plugin is required to make the “_blank” work?

Thanks.

It seems to open even internal links in a new tab. Just wanted external links opening in a new tab.

Thanks.

Got it working as I wanted. Used the code below for it. Thanks.

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Open Links in New Window

*/



function bb_target_blank( $text ) {

$text = preg_replace('|<a (.+?)>|i', '<a $1 target="_blank">', $text);

return $text;

}

add_filter('post_text', 'bb_target_blank',255);



?>
