   Greetings to all!

   I had been using the method at http://wordpress.org/support/topic/199485 to open RSS feeds from my widgets in 2.8.3. Now that I have updated to 2.8.4 this method will not work.

   Does anyone know what I can change in 2.8.4? Tired the above after update and no workie.

   Sure would be nice if the wonderful:) WP coders would make this a standard feature...

   Thanks in advance for the help.

   Terry

   No help at all? Very surprised that others are not interested in opening rss feed links in new windows.

   Unfortunately I don't think it's that simple to do without modifying the WordPress source code, as I don't think there's anything you can filter to add the target="_blank" code in.

   However, this could be done with a javascript function which grabbed all links with the appropriate selector ".widget_rss a" and forced them to open in a new window. Once I test some code, I'll try and post some sample code back here.

   Or you can use the Better RSS Widget plugin - developed to handle this need.

   The Javascript will be similar to this: WordPress Twitter Tools widget open in a New Window
