[Support request] External link for post title

[Aaron]

How would I go about setting a particular post’s title as an external link? Thank you!

Hi there,

Would this be only on the archives? If so, you can set the Post Format as “Link”, and then the title will take the first link found in the content and link to it.

Let me know 🙂

Hi Tom, thanks! I didn’t realize you could do that. 🙂

One other question – since this is an external link, I’m trying to get it to open in a new tab. The link itself opens in a new tab, but not the post title link when you’re surfing through index or archives. Is there an easy fix to that?

You would need to copy this file into your child theme: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/2.4.1/content-link.php

Then you’d need to add target="_blank" to the <a> element here: https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/2.4.1/content-link.php#L35
