Hi @hector, links usually open in a new tab (at least for my wpforo installation, and also here on this forum). Sample link: There is a box "Open link in a new box" unchecked (that you can check and uncheck). Like in the attached screenshot. If you look at the {;} source code, you will see this code for the above sample, like so: <p><a href="https://wpforo.com/community/general-forums-bug-reports/some-external-links-do-not-open-in-a-new-navigation-tab/" target="true"> If you check the "Open link in a new box", like in the sample link below (which should open in a new tab) the source code should look like this: <p><a href="https://wpforo.com/community/general-forums-bug-reports/some-external-links-do-not-open-in-a-new-navigation-tab/" target="true"> </p> If for some reason, some links does not open for you on your forum, just add a little snippet of code: target="blank" after the href part of the link. Just add "space" then target="blank" of the link that you want to open in a new tab. This should also open in a new tab: And this is the code: <p><a href="https://wpforo.com/community/general-forums-bug-reports/some-external-links-do-not-open-in-a-new-navigation-tab/" target="blank"> You might also have a plugin that is conflicting with the way the links on wpforo opens. Because in my own installation, the links always open in a new tab. Maybe you just need to see if the specific link that you want to open in a new tab, has the "Open link in a new box" checked. Good luck and God bless you! 🙂 < span style="color: #666;"> Attachment :  20200509_OpenLinkInAnewTab.jpg

Hello, Thanks for the suggestion. I already have user profiles deactivated on the forum. Let me explain my issue: I am running a blog and a forum on the same domain. The blog requires a lot of external links and I keep those external links on dofollow using wp external links plugin. The forum/wpforo on the other hand I want to keep as nofollow. If I am not mistaken, wpforo has a default setting of setting external links as nofollow which is great. However, recently I was checking and some links on the forums topics and the profile are not showing the nofo ...

@chris Yes my bad : I would like to say external links. I am sorry but this is not true. As you can see in the source code (see attached file). I don't see any option about "no follow". You are talking about the "no opener" wich is not what I am talking about. ------------- The problem is : As a SEO guy, I don't want to give free backlinks trough my wpforo forum. Why don't you put an option to set all external links from the forum as no follow ? This is an important feature which is missing. Thank you for your reply. < span style="color: #666 ...
