Dana, you can try removing the fourth line if you used the technique discussed in this post. Then, manually set those links to open to a new window using the “target” dropbox. I also suggest you remove the 301 redirect and the plugin unless you use them for some other purpose.

Hi!

Yes, I’d like to know if there is a way to have 2 of my internal pages open in a new window.

Hi Dana, I could not access your site. I’m getting a message saying that it is not available in my area. So what did you do? Did you implement this tweak and then would like to have two of your internal pages open in new window? I’m somehow confused on what you are trying to say.

Thanks for much for this post!

Is it possible to have specific pages open in a new window? I have created a couple of pages & used the 301 redirect function. When I link those in a post, I would like it to open in a new window. Selecting “open in new window” from the post link box doesn’t work. I’ve also added a plug-in (Page Lists Plus) which doesn’t work either.

Example:

Thank you!

Hi Gyutae!

I think the ninth line of the code answers your question, or are you referring to the name of the commenter that serves as link to his or her website? If it’s the commenter’s name, please refer to the addendum.

How do I also apply the autoblank function to the commenter links (which most of the time are external) as well as in author bios?

Hi Andre,

I just reviewed this article and it looks like I forgot to include some of the precautions that I usually include in other codes meant to be inserted in the functions.php.

Yes, you are correct the functions.php is one of the theme files. Now, my question is when you inserted it, are there anything else in that file? If there are other codes and you are not sure where to insert it, I suggest you insert it either after the after the very first < ?php or before the very last ?>.

BTW, may I know what version of WordPress you are using?

I tried adding this to my functions.php file, I couldn’t get to the file in question through my WordPress interface (closest I can get to is “theme functions.php”), so I edited the file and uploaded it manually.

Anyway, when I try load my page, I see the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function add_filter() in /home/gecco/public_html/test/wp-includes/functions.php on line 33

You say this doesn’t need anything else, but I don’t see anything to define the add_filter() function, wouldn’t that need to be added earlier in the code?

Sorry guys for the very late reply. Too busy to work to attend to this blog.

David, Amy, Peter>> You’re welcome ^_^
Steve>> The error message appeared when? When you updated the file or when you checked if its working?
