    Hello!

    Well, I'm trying to crack my head on how to make any links posted in my comments section, to be opened in a new window!

    I tried editing some of my commentators links to something like:

    But it did not work, though the target="_blank" is still there...:(

    Any help?

    Thanks!

    It depends on your comments.php as well of your theme, maybe the author of the theme integrated target=same window explicitly! Check your comments php file!

    I know the mistake you wrote:

    <a href="http://www.google.com" target="_blank">Check out my blog for more info!</a>

    -> you added a " too much, try it out and remove it. Hope it will work then.... ;)

    Thanks, it worked! :)

    Is there any way I could add some bunch of codes into my Wordpress Comments.php file so that every links posted in my comments section would open in a new window, instead of me going around and editing them one by one manually by inserting the target=blank" thing?..

    Oh and my Wordpress version is 2.3.1 ;)
