  Hey all, Good afternoon.

  Is there a CSS code to automatically open all article links in a new tab? I don’t mean header links, recent/featured posts link, but articles in the body of a post only. I have too many links to do this manually. Thanks!

  Hi there,

  I don’t believe there is any CSS that would allow this, for target="_blank" is normally used but is discouraged in general as a web standard due to accessibility issues.

  There is no global setting to allow links in the body to open up in a new tab either, but here are instructions on how to set it up for each link on your site:
