How to Open Links in a New Tab

Lots of plugins are available to open links in a new tab but every time using a plugin is not good. So here I am giving you a simple and easy solution to open link in a new tab using coding. Just follow the instructions given below:-

• As you have external links in your site and you want to open them in a new tab by clicking on them. For that you need to use a simple code in your header.php file just above the < /head> mentioned below:-




<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    $('a[href]:not([href^="SITE URL"]):not([href^="#"]):not([href^="/"])').attr( 'target', '_blank' );
});
// ]]></script>

Write your site URL in place of “SITE URL”.

• Another one is for a particular link in your site. If you want to open a particular link of your site in a new tab. For that use a simple code in your header.php file just above the < /head> mentioned below:-




<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
jQuery(document).ready(function($){
    $('#ClASS OF LINK').each(function(){
        if( $(this).attr('href') && 0 != $(this).attr('href').indexOf('#') ) {
            $(this).attr('target', '_blank');
        }
    });
});
// ]]></script>

Write the particular class of link in place of “#ClASS OF LINK”.
