Opening links in a new window

when creating a post, there is a little chain link icon in the formatting bar on the text area. (top row, around the center of the icon set)
Click this to create the link.

In that box there will be a checkbox that says “Open link in a new tab or window”

If you have to do it manually from the html editor tab, just add

target=”_blank” in the “<a>” tag.

You need to add target=”_blank” to the a href. This can be manually added in HTML, is a check box in menu items and also when you add a link in the post/page editor there is a check box.

Thank you so much. I can’t believe I didn’t see that check box.
Life saver!
thanks
