Open links in new window by default in posts

Hello,

I would like that all external links and links to own documents (pdf) open in a new tab by default in posts. It works for pages but I need it for blog posts.
Thanks

Hi,

To achieve this you must add an attribute to your a tag.

For example :

<a href="http://google.com">google</a>

This will create a link that opens in the same window

<a target="_blank" href="http://google.com">google</a>

This will create a link that opens in a new window

You just need to add the target="_blank" attribute

thanks

Hello, but I have to do it for every link seperately (especially also my collaboratours later). No way to change the default setting to add this attribute automatically to the a tag?

Yes, this is the only way to do it. Sorry for inconvenience.
