[Plugin: HungryFEED] How to make links in sidebar widget open in new window?

I would suggest creating a dummy post in your blog and then use the HungryFEED “wizard” button in the editor to design your shortcodes. (The button is up where the bold, italic, etc buttons are – it is blue with the hungryfeed monster) That will generate the code for you and you can then copy/paste into the sidebar. That way you can more easily explore all of the options without having to write the shortcode.

but, if you do want to edit by hand, here is a shortcode with the parameters that you could use as an example:

[hungryfeed url=”…” target=”_blank” max_items=”5″ truncate_description=”200″]

Thank you for the fast and clearly described help. For me as a “i-know-nothing-about-shortcodes” person that was very good.

Doing it with the wizard an then copyiing that into the text widget works perfect including opening the links in a new window.

Results:
a news widget called “Poly news provided by Alan of Polyinthemedia” which can be seen in the right hand column on my home page and on several sub pages on: https://viktor-leberecht.com and the original german website https://viktor-leberecht.de

the same feed integrated into a page:
https://viktor-leberecht.com/links/linklist-polygamy/lists-about-polygamy-newsfeeds
and the german website

Thank you so much.
