[Support request] How to change from open in new window to same window

[Anton]

Hi there,

Didn’t see an answer to this via search. On my site, I set almost all links (internal and external) to open in a new tab (window). I’d now like to have all internal links open in the same tab, with external links opening in a new tab.

Or, if it’s simpler, just have all links open in the same tab.

Is there a way to reliably do this across the board with some Javascript, or otherwise?

Many thanks (love this theme!!).

Hi there,

you could try filtering the content with preg_replace to remove the Target attribute:

add_filter('the_content', 'db_remove_target_blank_in_content', 15);
function db_remove_target_blank_in_content($content)
{
    return preg_replace('#target=["\']?_blank["\']?#mi','',$content);
}

I would suggest testing this on a staging site in case it creates any unintentional side effects.
