How can I get a link to open in a new tab?

The link mode (same window, rel=external, target=blank) setting is on the settings page.

The intro is from the meta or og description that the author set. In Dom mode it will also fail back to the first paragraph of the content if no meta description has been set.

If you want different text, or to remove it, you’ll have to do that by hand unless what you want is a generic alternative I can add as an option.

The display is set in the CSS, which is also on the settings page.

Hi

I have tried resetting the link mode to all 3 different options (it was already set to “_blank”), but it still comes in the same window.

The links are to posts in a blog of mine where a meta description is set, but this description doesn’t come up – just the text from the share links and the first paragraph.

If the system is picking up the link mode from settings, then the front-end html should generate the option in the settings, what does view source show on the a tag?

Hi

Sadly it still does not work.

I have made sure the settings were set to “_blank (view – here), and I deleted the content I had put on the page and recreated it, thinking that perhaps it was important for those settings to be in place when the page was created. I updated the page, but the links still open in the same tab.

The source code (view – ) doesn’t seem to have picked up the target=”_blank”

Hi,

The settings do have to be in place when you add the link as the HTML is written into the post body.

Changes you make to the settings will not affect posts that have already been added.

I looked at the code you posted, but it bears no similarity to the code that the plugin adds to the post. Where is it from?

The plugin, for that URL, generates the following source:
<p></p><div id="at_zurlpreview"><h2>What Sensory Overload Feels Like - Transforming Autism</h2><p class="imgp"><img src="https://i0.wp.com/transformingautism.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/sensory-overload.png?fit=261%2C188" data-src="https://i0.wp.com/transformingautism.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/sensory-overload.png?fit=261%2C188" /></p><p class="imgd">What must it be like to be constantly assailed by unrelenting stimuli? This article & film give an insight into what autistic people go through every day..</p><p class="imgs">Source: <a href="https://transformingautism.co.uk/sensory-overload/" rel="external">transformingautism.co.uk/sensory-overload/</a></p></div><p>?</p>

Thanks Simon

The code was from the “View Source” – the HTML of the page. How do I find the code you are asking for? (it is still opening in the same tab, even though I set it to open in a new tab before adding the links)

Hi,

The code I showed was from the TinyMCE, tools – source code view. To see what is being inserted before that rest of the system processes it.

The plugin does not generate iframes.

Is there anything that can be done to make the link open in a new tab?

Also, to change the size of the picture and make sure the meta-description is displayed rather than the first sentence of text?

Sorry, but I don’t know what else I can say. The code you’re looking at is not generated by the plugin.

I have not idea what on your system is generating the iframes, embed and secret key, but it’s not this plugin.

Do you have a post on your site that you have linked/previewed from another site? As all the posts appear to be your own content, some with links.

This page has links from an external blog. – https://guyshahar.co.uk/blog/

But they are still opening in the same window.

Also, is there any way to change the size of the thumbnails and get the meta data to appear?

Looking at that page, all I can see is “wp-embedded-content” and iframes. Whatever that part of the system does, it’s not something I use, it’s not what this plugin was designed for.

Those are not posts, with “in-line” content, they are iframes and not normal page content. Sorry.
