Hi Antonio,

if you know coding, then you can do this in theme files because we do not have such an option included into theme.

Thanks!

Yes I know coding.

Which file should I modify?

So if you know coding, then you must play with comments.php file which is responsible for comments section.

I knew it is in comment.php

I leave the solution for other users. I would not be a bad idea to add it to the be theme. I love your theme

function comment_links_in_new_tab($text) {
$return = str_replace('<a', '<a target="_blank"', $text);
return $return;
}
add_filter('get_comment_author_link', 'comment_links_in_new_tab');
add_filter('comment_text', 'comment_links_in_new_tab');
