Open links to events in new tab

[Christopher]

If visitors are on an event page and then click on “Website” of this event or “Website” of organizers, it always takes them to this website in the existing window, i.e. the visitors leave my page. Is there a way to open such links rather in “new tabs” so that the visitor does not necessary leave my website?

Hi Christopher,

Thanks so much for reaching out!

There are actually quite a few ways around this:

1. https://wordpress.org/plugins/open-external-links-in-a-new-window/
2. https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/209506/how-do-i-make-images-open-in-a-new-tab-by-default
3. https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/230417/open-link-in-a-new-tab-checked-by-default-when-adding-a-new-link-in-visual-post

You can also try adding the following snippet to your theme’s functions.php file and see if that resolves your issue:

Let me know how it goes!

 

Thanks,

Thanks Jamie. The first links were a bit complicated, but the last github information did work.
