    Good morning,

    On the sportsclub website we have several links to external sites. They used to open in new tabs, but I noticed this morning the links open in the same tab. I’ve checked the settings of the links, and that’s like it should be. What could cause this problem? Recent updates to plugins?

    Best regards,
    Marieke

    Hi Rikard,

    I always use option nr. 2 from the link you provided. Are the problems caused by the ‘disable Gutenberg’ plugin?

    Also, some links are behaving like I want them, others are not. I don’t see a difference between their settings.

    Best,

    Hi Rikard,

    You can close this thread. Reading through other posts on this forum I realised I just installed the WP Accessibility plugin… I switched of the setting ‘prefend links to open in new window’. Now everything works like it should.
