Hello @eziser,

If you want all of your external link to open in a new tab you have to include js code .

For this you can go through the child theme approach or add an external plugin.

Below is the link to one of the plugin :

https://wordpress.org/plugins/custom-css-js/

Then include below given js code .

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  
	$("a[href^=http]").each(function(){
          if(this.href.indexOf(location.hostname) == -1) {
             $(this).attr({
                target: "_blank",
                title: "Opens in a new window"
             });
          }
       })  
  
});

Note: We cannot assure 100% compatibility of the plugin we have recommend to the theme as we have not tested the compatibility of the plugin to the theme .

Hope this helps.

Best Regards!!

Hello @eziser,

To include the js code in the child theme you have to enqueue the js script in your functions.php file .

Your child theme functions.php should contain the below given code:

<?php

add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'photomania_pro_child_style' );
  function photomania_pro_child_style() {
	wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );
	wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style',get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/style.css',array('parent-style'));
  wp_enqueue_script( 'photomania-child-custom-js', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/custom.js', array('jquery'), '' , true );
}

Now create the custom.js file in your child theme and add below given code in the file .

jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  
	$("a[href^=http]").each(function(){
          if(this.href.indexOf(location.hostname) == -1) {
             $(this).attr({
                target: "_blank",
                title: "Opens in a new window"
             });
          }
       })  
  
});

Hope this clears up the confusion.

Best regards!!

Hello @eziser,

Steps to follow:

-First of all create the text document naming custom.txt and paste the js code with the help of text editor like notepad inside your child theme folder.

-Then rename the text file as custom.js and save it.

If you are finding it difficult to create the file replace above given code with code given below in your child themes functions.php file .

function photomania_pro_child_custom_js() { ?>

<script type="text/javascript">
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
  
	$("a[href^=http]").each(function(){
          if(this.href.indexOf(location.hostname) == -1) {
             $(this).attr({
                target: "_blank",
                title: "Opens in a new window"
             });
          }
       })  
  
});

</script>
<?php
}

add_action( 'wp_footer', 'photomania_pro_child_custom_js' );

Hope this clears the confusion.

Best regards!!
