Recently I wanted to add some links to WordPress Menu, which were not pointing to my domain and hence wanted to open them in new tabs. Doing this is very simple in WordPress. This is normally a hidden option and in this post I will tell you how we can easily do that.

\"WordPress<\/a><\/p>\n

Steps to make a WordPress menu item open in a new window or tab<\/strong>
\n1. Go to Appearance -> Menus in your sidebar
\n2. On the top right of the screen click the \u201cScreen Options\u201d tab
\n3. Check the \u201cLink Target\u201d option in the Screen Options tab. You don’t need to save, the changes will be visible immediately
\n4. Add or open up the menu item you wish to make open in a new tab. Now you will see a new check box that says \u201cOpen Link in New Window\/Tab\u201d
\n5. Click \u201cSave Menu\u201d to save your changes<\/p>\n

These steps should work with WordPress 3.0+<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
