 * I can’t work out how I would have my posts/news items, appear in a New Tab when
   people click on the post/news item.
 * At the moment when the article is clicked, it opens in the same Tab.

 * It depends on how the link is generated from your theme. Essentially, you need
   to add the `target="_blank"` attribute to the anchor tag. How that is done depends
   both on the specific link and your theme. I recommend asking in your theme’s 
   dedicated support forum for more specific guidance.
 * N.B. — Many browsers allow users to override the default behavior caused by `
   target="_blank"`. Some web page designers consider it poor form to presume a 
   user wants a link opened in a new tab. Most users know how to accomplish that
   if that is what they desire. Of course, it’s your site, you may do as you wish.

 * Hello [@whitehead197](https://wordpress.org/support/users/whitehead197/)
 * You can easily make WordPress links open in new tabs. In the WordPress visual
   editor, navigate to the text or image, where you have to link to another page.
    - While inset/edit the link Check the box next to “Open link in a new tab”.
    - Click on the “Add Link” button to save the changes.
    - Update the post to save the changes.
 * Alternatively, you can add the “target=_blank” attribute to a link in order to
   make it open in a new browser tab when clicked. To use this attribute, you need
   to include it within the opening anchor tag of the link like this:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       <a href="http://www.example.com" target="_blank">Click here</a> 
       ```
   
 * That’s it! Now, the link to your post, will open in a new tab.

 * To enable the post to open in a new tab, I had to change the format of the post
   to “Link”,. Now the posts open in a new tab.

 * And also add the Permalink into the Title Wrapper page.
 * There is an option down the bottom where you can add a link directly to the page.
