  I would like to use the “Image” widget as a link to another page in a new tab, is this possible? If so, how can I do it?

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

  Hi there,

  It isn’t possible to specify for a link within the Image Widget to open in a new tab. However, this can be accomplished using a Text Widget instead of an Image Widget. You can find some instructions here:

  Can you give that a try?

  Thanks a bunch. I used the text widget and it solved the problem.
