Hey I saw this thread http://www.pixelwars.org/forums/topic/insert-permalink-sign-into-post-headerfooter/ which helped with the my theme customization requirements (http://www.pixelwars.org/forums/topic/theme-customization/). I was just wondering if you could assist with a code that would open the links in a new tab/page. check me out at postcodexdotcom

Hi,

– open format-standard.php,

– find:

<a <?php echo $hide_post_title_out; ?> rel="bookmark" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

– edit:

<a target="_blank" <?php echo $hide_post_title_out; ?> rel="bookmark" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

Thanks

Thanks for the response Mehmet but I’m not sure this would work because I have already implemented these instructions given by you in another post.

– open “Custom Fields” from Screen Options. (When in editing screen of a post).

– find the Custom Fields box below.

– click to the “Enter new” link.

– define ext_link name and a value.

– click “Add Custom Field” button.

Now, ext_link is ready to use for all posts. So don’t define it again in another post, just select from the list, then enter a value.

To this step, it works on the back-end side.

From this step, we will add it to the design.

– go to Appearance > Editor > format-standard.php

– find1:

<a rel=”bookmark” href=””>
– edit1:

<a rel=”bookmark” href=”ID, ‘ext_link’, true ); ?>”>
– find2:

– edit2:

<a title="Permalink" href="”>

I have already created a custom field, edited and added the above code to format-standard.php which works perfectly. My request is to open the post when the title is clicked in a new tab.

Sorry this the full code you gave in this post.

Find 1:

<a rel=”bookmark” href=””>

Edit 1:

<a rel=”bookmark” href=””>

The full code is not showing. Here is the link for the full code

This is the title part:

<h1 class="entry-title">
	// staff ...
</h1>

This is the title link:

<a <?php echo $hide_post_title_out; ?> rel="bookmark" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

Add target="_blank" to the link:

<a target="_blank" <?php echo $hide_post_title_out; ?> rel="bookmark" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>

You are welcome.

Hey I have just noticed that the title of my post act and behaves the way I want it to. But when the link to my post is open via twitter, the post title does not link out to the original content. How do I get the post title to link to the original content from the home page and the post page. hope this makes sense.

[Mehmet S.]

Can you provide your url?

Hi, never mind it’s all sorted now. But the title in the single post page appears in #009966 which is the content link colour.

For example;
http://www.postcodex.com/karl-zahn-inspires-future-jewellery-designer/

How can I have the colour of my title in the single post page #000000 and keep this #009966 colour for my linked content.

[Mehmet S.]

Use this in your custom css field:

.single-post .entry-header a {
color: #000000;
}
