    If you edit your "index.php" file in the wp admin panel you can add:

    Code:
    target="_blank"
    to your post title.

    Should be a line similar to this under "div class=post-title".

    Code:
    <h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" target="_blank" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
    Notice where I have already added it here, just before the "title" section.

    Hope that helps.

    Thank Dennis for your help, I tired what you said and it didn't work. Some more information on why

    1. I am using a page as my main index so no post are showing there.

    2. The post show in the category archive.php page. I edited this already just to show the heading of the post with no comments.

    3. I have a redirect plugin that I want to use to redirect post to an affiliate link outside of my site.

    This is why I would like the post to open to a new page.

    Here is the code that looks like what you wanted me to edit on my index page that I pulled from my archive page

    <h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>

    again thanks for any help

      G`day Auggie,

      check your code Dennis ... I
      think your fingers stuttered ...

      <h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"
      rel="bookmark" target="_blank" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
      Try this ...

      <h3 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" rel="bookmark" target="_blank"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
      If it still throws an error try using single quotes
      around bookmark and _blank ... that may help

      **I make no claim that this will work**

        No my code was correct. It was copy and pasted.

        She had a different setup that is why it didn't work. She had a list of categories that was being clicked and to change that, I had to modify the archive.php file instead of the index.php file.
