Every click opens in new tab on blogger

The frustration of having every link open in a new tab on Blogger!

Don't worry, I'm here to help you fix this issue. Here are a few methods to try:

Method 1: Check your browser settings

  1. Open your browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, etc.).
  2. Click on the three vertical dots (Chrome) or the three horizontal lines (Firefox) in the top right corner.
  3. Select "Settings" or "Options" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Scroll down to the "On startup" or "Tabs" section.
  5. Ensure that "Open links in a new tab" is not selected or set to "Open links in the current tab".

Method 2: Use the "target" attribute

  1. Log in to your Blogger account.
  2. Go to the post or page where you want to change the link behavior.
  3. Click on the link you want to modify.
  4. In the link editor, add the following code to the end of the link URL: target="_self"
  5. Save the changes.

Example: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.example.com" target="_self">Example Link</a>

Method 3: Use a plugin or add-on

  1. If you're using a browser extension like uBlock Origin or uMatrix, try disabling it temporarily to see if it's causing the issue.
  2. If you're using a Blogger plugin like "Linkify" or "Open in new tab", try disabling or uninstalling it.

Method 4: Check your Blogger theme

  1. Log in to your Blogger account.
  2. Go to the "Theme" section.
  3. Click on the "Customize" button.
  4. In the theme editor, navigate to the "Advanced" tab.
  5. Look for the "Link behavior" or "Link target" setting and ensure it's set to "Open in the same tab".

If none of these methods work, you can try resetting your browser settings or seeking help from the Blogger community or a web developer.
