BuddyPress – Profile Field – Open Link in New Window

On the Members Profile page I’d like to have the Profile Field URL open in a new window.

I found the following article regard this issue.

https://buddypress.org/support/topic/profile-fields-open-url-in-new-tab-_blank/

I’ve tried the mentioned function below but its not working.
```
function swiss_target_blank( $field_value, $field_type, $field_id ){
	
	if( $field_id == 6 ) {
		$field_value = str_replace('rel="nofollow"', 'rel="nofollow" target="_blank"', $field_value);
	}
	return $field_value;
}
add_filter('bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'swiss_target_blank', 11, 3);
```
It works when I modify the core file located at buddypress/bp-xprofile/classes/class-bp-xprofile-field-type-url.php, line 176. I’d like to find a way to do this without editing the core.

The article referenced above was written about 4 years ago. Has someone changed recently that would prevent the function from working?

Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thx

Well, you’ll have to be sure that the “Profile Field URL” field has the id of 6 on your installation. On your site, visit the Profile Fields admin at Wp Admin > Users > Profile Fields (/wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup) and hover over the “Edit” button for the field you want to affect. The link will look something like /wp-admin/users.php?page=bp-profile-setup&mode=edit_field&group_id=1&field_id=7 showing you the field_id you want to use.

Thanks for commenting. I’m using the correct field_id. I just created a new field, it was given the id of 54. When I try the following code it doesn’t work.
```
function swiss_target_blank( $field_value, $field_type, $field_id ){
	
	if( $field_id == 54 ) { // get the field_id from edit field url in wp-admin

		$field_value = str_replace('" rel="nofollow">', 'rel="nofollow" target="_blank"', $field_value);
	}

	return $field_value;
}
add_filter('bp_get_the_profile_field_value', 'swiss_target_blank', 11, 3);
```
I tried this code in my functions.php and bp-custom.php, neither work.

Line 176 – /plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/classes/class-bp-xprofile-field-type-url.php

It seems like the way you’re suppose to target rel=”nofollow” has changed or something.

I’m still working on this.
