    I think this may be a more suitable location to ask my question. I have a news page set up biggovernmentreport.com and I have it looking about how I want it to look. However, when you click the title of a story, it takes you to the post page. Once you are on the post page, if you click the title there, it then takes you to the source of the story. I want it so when you click the title on the main page it takes you directly to the source of the news story. I’m thinking a redirect would work best as the stories are also posting to the corresponding facebook and twitter pages. That way, if you click the link on facebook or twitter, it takes you directly to the source of the story, rather than to a page with an excerpt and a link to the source. Any wordpress ninjas out there know how I can accomplish this in a way that doesn’t require manually plugging in URLs with every single post?

    Fantastic! Thank you so much, Frizax! The opening in new windows part didn’t work for me (yet), but the titles link directly to the source which is the main thing I was after. The links on facebook even redirect directly to the source as I wanted. Thanks a million!

    It seems that on home page you’re not using suffusion_after_begin_post() function for displaying posts title. The code mentioned will work only if you use suffusion_after_begin_post() function.

    Can you please share the code where you’re listing posts on home page, I will let you know where to make changes for opening link in new window.

    I’m not using any custom code for the home page, it’s a custom template populated with widgets using the “Easy” content management plugin.

    Knowing how to make links open in new windows would be cool, but honestly, I think I like the way it operates as it stands right now! I was reading that many users are annoyed by links opening in new windows. You’ve been a gigantic help, thanks so much!
