  Is there a way to make each of the social media links open in a new window/tab?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi,

  I tried looking around but couldn’t find the option to do so inside the theme. Looks like there’s really no way to do that.

  Since the social links are just custom menu items, you can set them to open in a new browser window/tab by checking off the box below each link in the custom menu:

  

  If you don’t see the checkbox, open the Screen Options panel and check off “Link Target.”

  More about advanced menu settings:

  Just let me know if you have any trouble.

  Thanks so much, Kathryn! The problem was that I didn’t have the ‘Link Target’ option checked, so i didn’t get the option to open in new tab.
  Your screen shot was hugely helpful. Giant cyber hug to you from me!
