target="_blank" for a page on menu?

I still see this

<script type="text/javascript">
$('li.page_item page-item-136 a').attr('target','_blank')
</script>

Are you sure you removed it?

Sorry, I misunderstood that. I should change
<li> to <p>?

I think I’m taking too much of your time! I’ll just have to live with it on another part of the page. I have other questions to ask, and don’t want to fry you out.

Thanks for sticking in there with me!

It’s alright, I’m asking you to remove this code

<script type="text/javascript">
$('li.page_item page-item-136 a').attr('target','_blank')
</script>

(but keep the code with the dot)

I was talking about the <p> hypothetically.

Well, I did do that, but the source and the target pages both load as discussions.

I suspect this is still due to both jQuery codes in the page:

You don’t want this (below)

<script type="text/javascript">
$('li.page_item page-item-136 a').attr('target','_blank')
</script>

You want this (below)

<script type="text/javascript">
$('li.page_item.page-item-136 a').attr('target','_blank')
</script>

You were right. There was another one…way up at the top. I’ve removed it.

I did notice this right before this script:

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

I don’t know enough about script. Is this supposed to be closed at the end? </> or something?

The last thing I’ll recommend is changing

<script type="text/javascript">
$('li.page_item.page-item-136 a').attr('target','_blank')
</script>

to

<script type="text/javascript">
$('li.page-item-136 a').attr('target','_blank')
</script>

Well, I must have done something, somewhere I shouldn’t have.

Anyway, I tried that with the same result. I would have liked that link on the menu, but I’ll just have to find somewhere else for it.

I really appreciate your time and patients! First class!!!

Thank you very much!

Yikes! 9 hours!

Or you can install WP links the external link handler automatically parses target_blank on all external links.
