  Hello!

  I have one particular blog in which each article has multiple links; I’d like to set the default on my blogs so that any hyperlink added to the article will automatically open in a new tab. Is that default setting possible?

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

  Hi!

  It is not possible to set a global default for your site. However, you can set this up for an individual link by selecting the “Open link in a new window/tab” option shown here:

  Pity. I’ve been using the individual link settings, but when I have 20+ per article on one of my sites, it’s a pain to do them like that when there could be a setting button once for all… WordPress, any time soon?? :-)

  I don’t believe it’s on the roadmap right now, but I’ll make sure it’s on our ideas list for future!
