Hi there,

Could anyone tell me how to make my link go to an external website on a separate page?

The CSS I have used is:

WebWake Website Design

Thank you for reading this.

Hi Tracy,

Thanks for writing in! Are you referring to footer menus ? If so, head over to Appearance -> Menus section and then add a custom menu item with your external link.

Then click on the Screen Options link on the top right hand corner of the page and check the option “Link Target”.

Then when you check your custom link, you will see a new option to open links in a new tab.

Hope that helps.

Hi mldarshana,

Thanks for you reply.

I should have attached a screenshot. Here it is!

This link is not on the footer menu. I added some code to the Footer Options > Footer Content box.

I am sure that I possibly just need to expand on this Footer Content - Is this right?

Hi There,

Please update your a tag to this:

<a href="http://webwrake.co.uk" target="_blank">WebWake Website Design</a>

For more information about the target attribute, please take a look at this:
