Open social media link in a new tab

    Hello everyone,

    I realized that social media menu links are opening in the same browser window, navigating the users away from my website, which is quite an unfortunate situation.

    Could you help me, where I can modify this basic setting to make these links open in a new tab? I guess, there’s no such option in the menus, but I hope there’s a solution to insert a (‘target’, ‘_blank’) command somewhere into the .php files.

    Has anyone any idea in which .php file could I modify this setup?

    Thank you!

    @szidorngabor – you can set social links to open in a new window in the menu dashboard.

    1 – Open the Screen Options panel
    2 – Check the box next to “Link Target”
    3 – Next to each social link, check the box “Open link in a new tab”
    4 – Save your menu changes

    Let me know how it goes!

    Thank you very much, Kathryn!

    On my prveious sites this function was active as default, and I didn’t need to use this “screen option” menu.

    Thank you for showing that! ??
