    Hi, I also have this issue. All my external links are not opening in new tab. Is it because I change my WordPress editor into Gutenberg from Classic?

    Hi Sunny,

    Thanks a lot for your query and we are so sorry about the trouble this must have caused.

    Please check the page’s source and check if target="_blank" is present in the anchor link.

    Alternatively, please share a screenshot of Your link settings at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > General Settings > Links

    And, a link to the page where the settings are not having an effect.

    We look forward to hearing back from you.

    Thanks for the response. The target=”_blank” is not present that’s why it’s not opening on a new tab. Here’s the screenshot of the link settings: Link Settings
    Here’s the link to the page: https://contentcreatorkit.com/invideo-review-best-online-video-creator/
    Actually, even in my draft posts, the links are also not working.

    Hello,

    I am trying to check the image but when I try to access the URL it tells me I don’t have permission to see that Google Drive image. Could you make it public or upload it to https://imgur.com/ so we can check it?

    Looking forward to help you.

    Hello,

    We might need to take a closer look at the settings. Please edit the first post on this ticket and include your WP logins in the designated Sensitive Data section.
    Sensitive Data Section

    It is completely secure and only our support staff has access to that section. If you want, you can use the below plugin to generate a temporary login URL to your website and share that with us instead:

    https://wordpress.org/plugins/temporary-login-without-password/

    You can use the above plugin in conjunction with the WP Security Audit Log to monitor what changes our staff might make on your website (if any):

    We really look forward to helping you.

    Hi Sunny,

    I am so sorry about that.

    This has been noted as a bug. The feature only works when the Image SEO module is enabled at WordPress Dashboard > Rank Math > Dashboard.

    You can enable that for now while we release an update with a fix.

    Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
