I have a photography orientated site with services listings in categorised directories so it’s necessary for me to have new windows open as then people can browse various photographers or services listed with me without having to backtrack to my site to find another if the one they have clicked on is not for them.

I know WordPress is set to open all links in comments etc to open in the same browser window, so in my directories where possible I always include Target=”_blank” in the web links of each service listed and at first all seemed fine, my links were opening in a new window.

I haven’t changed anything but now these same links only open in the same window and as mentioned above it’s a bit of a pain for my visitors to backtrack each time on a search especially with some sites not allowing visitors to go back to the previous site that they clicked through from.

Is there a script I can add in my theme editor that will set all external links from my site to open in a new window ? and if not does anyone know why my Target=”_blank” is suddenly not operating properly ?
Any assistance on this would be appreciated .

Cheers

Just tried LCD-NYC method of using the login link on the site and I have just got in on Firefox.
I don’t have the logout option on my page, only login.

To be honest I don’t want to have the admin links on my site as it is not intended to be a blog site but if this is how I have to work then I will.
Wonder how long it will be before it blocks me again though.

I am new to WordPress and have been using version 2.5.1 without a problem.

Hva just started a different site and within a few logins I was unable to login again.

I am not a techie on php as all I can do is adjust fonts and titles etc at the moment – so I had to delete and reinstall via c-panel ( which won’t give me the option of using any other version than 2.6 !)

Anyway, I have just got halfway through my new site over two days and this evening couldn’t login again. !!

Have copied page sources of my work on the site just in case and have been baffled by the methods people are suggesting here.

I use Firefox but I do have IE as well on Windows Vista.
…Firefox will not let me in at all. So I tried IE and it has let me in. How long for I have no idea and it is worrying for me so I can imagine how some of you guys are feeling if you have loads of members locked out of your blogs.

Is there anyway of ‘downgrading’ back to version 2.5.1 from 2.6 without effecting content of the sites or are we all stuck with this obviously not fully tested by the WordPress gangs version ?

Sorry WordPress people, even though I wish I had found this way of working before, I am not impressed that a patch or some easy fix is not widely available already for what is obviously a huge problem for a hell of a lot of people.

I really hope this gets resolved soon as it is very frustrating and each time I log in I wonder if it will be my last.
