When we add the "Link List" widget or gadget, all links were open in the same window when clicked which will make your reader leaves your blog/site.
With this simple script, all the links from the "Link List" widget will be open in new tab. Sounds great?!!
Anyway, here's the code:
As usual, from Dashboard > Template > then Edit HTML then,
First,add this line of code above the </head> tag.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.9.1.js"></script>Ignore if you have it already.
Then,find </body> tag and paste the code above it.
<script type='text/javascript'> $(function(){ $("#LinkList1 a").attr("target","_blank"); }); </script>Customization:
LinkList1 - Change it depends on the Link List ID.
That's it! Just comment below if it doesn't work.
UPDATE: If you want a specific link in a "link list" to open in new tab. Use this code instead.
<script type='text/javascript'>
$(document).ready(function() {
$("a[href='LINKS HERE']").attr('target', '_blank');}
);
</script>
