In today’s tip we will see how to Open Menu Custom Links/External Links in a new window in WordPress. When you are creating your menu there are times when you have custom links (which might be a page or post on a website other than your own). Its a good idea to open them in a new window so the user does not navigate away from your site. You can use this tip to even open pages or post that are part of your menu, in a new tab.
