 * I need more info.
    Are you referring to a Quick Redirect or a regular redirect(
   set up on a page or post)? If you are referring to a Quick Redirect, those will
   not open in a new window at this time (as stated on the Quick Redirects page)
   because in order for those to open in a new window, they need to be clicked and
   there needs to be some form of javascript/jQuery function to add the target to
   a link. We disabled the jQuery functions due to a high volume of conflicts with
   other functions, so until that is resolved, the new window/no follow functionality
   will not work with Quick Redirects.

    Don

 * Ok – I got that now.
    My next question is how are you calling your menus? are
   you using the New WP Menus to create them or does your theme use an older menu
   call?
 * If you are using the NEW WP Menu structure, it should work ok as long as you 
   are not using a custom walker class for your menus. If you are using custom created
   menu call (or have the menus hard-coded) then the plugin will probably not work
   as it needs to call from the WP Menus action wheich actually adds the `target
   ="_blank"` and `rel="nofollow"` attributes/properties to the links anchor tag.
 * If you want to send me a copy of the theme files, I can look at them for you,
   see how they are called and give you a solution. Otherwise I can’t really help.
   Send to [plugins@fischercreativemedia.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/target-doesnt-work/plugins@fischercreativemedia.com?output_format=md)
   and reference the Plugin Name and the issue.
 * One last thing – if you happen to be using the WP Menus and it does not work 
   because of a custom walker, etc., you could always just set the target on the
   menu item itself in the WP menu editor (you will need to make sure you can see
   it first by checking them in the screen options for that menu editing page – 
   [see here](http://www.agentwp.com/how-to-open-wordpress-custom-menu-link-in-new-window-or-tab)
   for instructions on how to do this).
