How can I make my links open in a new tab?

I only noticed this recently, but ever since I installed this theme, my internal and external links have been opening in the same tab.

This is a problem for me - I’d like all of my links to open in a separate tab.

Now, I know that I can download a plugin and be done with it, but I don’t want to slow down my website with plugins and generally prefer to use as little of them as possible.

Do you have any solution that is code-based/setting-based?

Cheers,
Vlad

Hey there,
I hope you’re doing well today

We recommend using a plugin to rectify this issue.
If you have some coding knowledge here’s a thread that will provide you with some possible coding fixes.

Try the method which involves pasting <base target="_blank">into the header.php file between the header tags.

Upon further inspection, opening internal links in the same tab is okay for me.

Is there a way to just open only external links in another tab? instead of “base”, to use another form or something?

If there isn’t, I might just resort to using a plugin I suppose

Sorry for bothering you like this.
