Managing Outside Links
on WordPress
It’s important to manage any outside links
you post on your WordPress site. You
want visitors to stay on your site while
sharing valuable resources and content.
Here’s how to do that!
Log in to your WordPress Site
On the Dashboard, select “Posts” – “Add New”
Enter the title and text of your post (including
outside links), then click “Settings”
You’ll be directed to page entitled “Sharing
Settings.” Scroll to near the bottom of the page. In
the category “Open links in” select “New window”
from the drop-down list.
After making your selection, click “Save Changes,” then
close the “Sharing Settings” tab to return to the “Add New
Post window. Any outside links you include in your post
will open in a separate window, making it easy for visitors
to return to your post.
