I have created a menu item that is a custom link. The link works fine but I want it to open in a new window. I don’t see any option for this. If I try to add target=_blank to the http address, the link errors.

Hi @Jennifer,

If you are using WordPress custom menu, then on the top of the Appearance=> Menu screen, there is a Screen Options Button. Once you click on that, you will see Show advanced menu properties. There, check the Link Target checkbox. Now, you should have Open link in a new tab option in your custom link.

Please see this screenshot for more details: http://awesomescreenshot.com/06c5oqxv5a

It has three steps mentioned in screenshot.

Let me know if this is what you wanted.

Regards,
