Hello,

Is there a way to tag only the blog / article pages and make all current and future posts have links that open in a new window? This would save tons of time so I wouldn’t have to do it manually for every link.

I’m assuming there is a simple way to do this in custom CSS.

Thanks!

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in!

To open posts in a new tab automatically, please add the following JS code in the customizer, Appearance > Customize > Custom > Javascript:

(function($){
  $('.entry-title a').attr('target', '_blank');
})(jQuery);

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks.

I tried that but I’m not sure if it worked. I made one of my post’s links default (so it doesn’t open in a new tab). When I clicked the link, it didn’t open in a new tab like the javascript code should make it do.

Here is the post: http://naturalife.org/natural-life/how-artificial-light-disrupts-your-sleep

The tested link: “suppresses the production of melatonin.”

Any other suggestions?

Thanks again.

Hi there,

Thanks for writing back. I can see the code is working and your links on blog listing pages/category pages are opening in new tab. Would you kindly check again and give us the exact page URL where the mentioned link exists?

Cheers!

I created a new post and none of the links within the article open in a new tab.

Here is the URL: http://naturalife.org/nutrition/health-benefits-fermented-food

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi There,

Please update the previous code a bit:

(function($){
  $('.entry-title a, .entry-content.content a').attr('target', '_blank');
})(jQuery);

Hope it helps 🙂

[Naturalife]

That worked, thanks!

EDIT: I noticed this makes posts open in a new tab when I click any posts on the recent posts shortcode. Is there any way to make it so this doesn’t happen? I just want the links WITHIN the articles to open in a new tab.

Thank you.

Hi there,

Please update your code to :

(function($){
  $('.single-post .entry-title a, .entry-content.content a').attr('target', '_blank');
})(jQuery);

Hope that helps.

Unfortunately the links on buttons on my home page (e.g., “view all articles”) and the recent posts links still open in a new tab. Any other suggestions?

Is there a way to open only blogs that are links to another website in a new page?
