Link options

Open links in a new window

Will open all internal and external links in a new window.

Open external links in a new window

Will only open external links in a new window. Internal links will open in the same window. This is the most common behaviour.

Override external link domains

There might be a reason to treat an external link like an internal link and open it in the same window. If so, follow the instructions and add one domain to exclude per line.

How to change the Link settings

  1. Go to /admin/appearance/settings/<site-name>

  2. Scroll down to the 'Component' section.

  3. Select 'link'.
