How to open Link Post Title to Source URL in the same tab/NOT a new tab

Hi there,

I am using the linking Post Title to Source URL and want the blog post title links to open in the same tab.

I tried to used this code but understand it makes all external link open in the same tab:

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a').attr('target','_self');
});
</script>

However, I would like to keep the social links and the About link to open in a new tab.

Is there a way to open only blog post links in the same tab and keep social links and About link open in a new tab?

Change

_self

to

_blank

Thank you, this is the site link: https://www.cleverbranded.com

I changed the code from _self to _blank, which allowed the About & Social links to open in a new tab but when I click on the project titles, it opens them in a new tab which is something I want to avoid. Is that possible?

Use this code

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.5.0/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
$('a:not(.passthrough-link)').attr('target','_blank');
});
</script>

This script worked for me to only target the Source Title links:

<script>
$(document).ready(function() {
  $('a.passthrough-link').attr('target', '_self');
});
</script>

Hello,

I have a similar problem - I'm happy with certain blogs opening in a new tab, but the blogs that I'm pulling through from a summary block on our homepage.

Should there not be some sort of toggle to enable this for blogs - whether that's on an individual or just blogs in general basis. I'm not a huge coder so hoping I can find a manageable work around. 

All help greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
