Menus - Open items in new tab/window?

Question

I have 3.1.2 running with the Boldy theme.

Site link.

I have a menu that has a number of external links listed in the items.
By default, these items do NOT load in a new tab/window.

There is no option in the Admin --> Appearance --> Menus, to tick a box to say open in new window.

How do I get them to do this?

Answer 1

In your WordPress admin panel, go to Appearance > Menus. Select Screen Options in the top right corner. Enable the property Link Target. Now you can set your link target element in your external link.
