Hi,
I want to make it so that when I link to websites outside of my blog, I want it to open in a different tab, rather navigate away from my blog in the same tab.
When you add a link in your post, simply add target=”_blank” to any link you create in your posting. Basic HTML.
Or, you could make a new CSS class and apply the class to any links you want — this is commonly done with a class “external” then when you make a link in your post do class=”external” … see:
SEE: CSS3 target tag:` http://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_target-new.asp
`
This is not a function of the theme. You may want to look at a plugin to do this, or research if there is an “auto link” plugin which makes external links open in new tab/window.
If you want to make all links both no-follow along with open in new window, this plugin is helpful for that – we use this on some of our sites:

There is also this plugin I’ve not tried and have no further info on:

Hello!
I noticed that I can tell that a link in a post should be open in another tab but I do not see that function for a link in a Author website or FB or any other. Is there a way to make that link open in a new tab?
Regards
Hello,
From the wp settings, when you want to create a link and have it open in a new tab, simply press the little cog wheel revealing the link options: https://www.screencast.com/t/xDg9CT8xcyb You will then find an option to make the link open in a new tab.
Thank you!
