[Resolved] Post format is not recognized in Query Loop

[Artem]

Hi,
Hope you are well.

I’d like my posts, with a “Link” post format, to open in a new tab. The solution provided by Ying works fine for archive pages:
https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/link-post-format-open-in-new-window/

However it doesn’t work for posts displayed via Query Loop. All posts open in the same tab. Apparently, post format is not recognized in Query Loop.
Could you please recommend a solution on how to force Query loop to see post format.

Many thanks.
Artem

Try this PHP Snippet:

add_filter( 'render_block', function( $block_content, $block ) {
    
    if ( 
        !is_admin()
        && 'link' === get_post_format()
        && ! empty( $block['attrs']['className'] ) 
        && 'my-custom-class' === $block['attrs']['className'] 
    ) {
        $block_content = str_replace( '<a ', '<a target="_blank" ', $block_content );
    }

    return $block_content;
}, 10, 2 );

NOTE: this line: && 'my-custom-class' === $block['attrs']['className'] ) { change the my-custom-class to your own class. Then select the Headline block that has the link applied, and add that class to Advanced > Additional CSS Class(es)
