How to disable posts from opening in a new tab for dashboard area?

  • Hello, World.
    I’m using WordPress for more than 6 months and know some basics info and some plugins and some php, css, html coding.

    I wanted to fix a problem on my site. The thing is that the developer that built the theme is no longer with us, he left the team. So, my boss said if we can fix the opening in new tab problem for our dashboard area also. When some visitor clicks on posts it opens on same page but when an admin opens it, it jumps on another tab. I’ve disable all open in new tab functions and replaced the target=”_blank” with target=”_self” in theme and also checked the menus for the open in new tab. But still not getting the result ??

    I also checked google and other search engine but couldn’t find a correct solutions. So, I just came to WordPress community support for an answer.

    Thanks in advance for your help

    Is this behavior only with your custom theme? It goes away if you switch to a different theme? It’s difficult to help people with custom theme issues since the source code is not available. Exactly which links are you clicking on that results in a new tab? View the page’s source code (usually Ctrl-U) and locate the problem link’s HTML. If there is still a target=”_blank” there despite your efforts to change it, you’ve apparently missed one.
