If you want the link to be opened in a new page, you need to create the link and then enable the check box. This can be quite annoying when you always want the link to open in a new window. This plugin enables the check box to be ticked by default so that a link always opens in a new window every time you insert/edit link. ## Screenshots * [[ * The above screenshot shows how the check box will look by default after the plugin is enabled. * [[ ## Installation This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working. e.g. 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/default-new-window-link-opener` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f48051ea0d059b4a71f85dc04662e68170013b26370d621ae50ed5cd996da7a0? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Working good!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/working-good-28/)󠁿 [Enric Ballo](https://profiles.wordpress.org/eballo/) December 18, 2016 Finally to create a link to a new page it is not needed to click the ckeckbox anymore.
