attributeWhat is External Links to New Window?
External Links to New Window is a lean plugin for WordPress that makes it very simple for you to open all external links in a new window or tab across all bog posts and pages. It will work with any theme, is really simple to setup and will not slow your website down.
Settings Page
The settings page is very simple and easy to use – this plugin was designed to do 1 thing and 1 thing only. From the admin page you can enable or disable the plugin (without having to deactivate the plugin on the plugins page). You can turn on the option to add the rel="nofollow"
attribute and turn on the option to add an icon to all external links.
For Posts & Pages
The plugin will adjust only those links which are on a different domain to your website with only the options that you chose on the settings page. The plugin also adds the CSS class external-links-new-window
to all external links so that you can use your own CSS to adjust the style of external links.
