Hyperlinks opening in the same window – want to open in a new window

[Wayne]

When users of our site click on the link to an organizer or venue, a new window does not open up and therefore the user is taken away from our website. I would recommend having these hyperlinks open in new windows.

Hi Wayne

See this answer from Jonah:

All you’d have to do is replace the 6th line down (the line that starts with $link) with this:

Henry, Yes I know how to add the target=”_blank” code. If I add this and then get an update of the plugin, my custom code will go away until I write it again. I would recommend adding this code to the “public plugin”.

Hey Wayne. If you’re adding to your functions.php file, that shouldn’t be impacted by a plugin update (unless I’m misunderstanding the issue here).

[Henry]

@Wayne,

That’s the good thing about functions.php – this file is part of your theme so any functions you put in this file are unaffected by future upgrades.
