I have 3.1.2 running with the Boldy theme.
I have a menu that has a number of external links listed in the items.
By default, these items do NOT load in a new tab/window.
There is no option in the Admin –> Appearance –> Menus, to tick a box to say open in new window.
How do I get them to do this?
In your WordPress admin panel, go to
Appearance > Menus. SelectScreen Optionsin the top right corner. Enable the propertyLink Target. Now you can set your link target element in your external link.
