Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

North Carolina, although Georgia (USA) is HOME
I need all references to external links in my post to open in a new page. I have multiple people set up as Authors and I don't want them to have to remember to add target="_blank" in the url. Is there a way to globally set this for posts?

a link that is part of the post text is not processed by the theme, it just calls the wordpress function 'the_content()' or 'the_excerpt()', so I think you wll have to find or code a plugin to examine the post content for any links then add that to the end.

A google search found Make all links target _blank plugin which may or may not help.

I just tested and it looks like if you just put the following in HTML Inserts: Header it does the trick.
HTML Code:
<base target=”_blank” />

Yes, but the plugin they developed was created to "fix" the issue of internal links and only handle external links like the plugin you pointed to.
