Making tabs open in a new window in BuddyPress

Hopefully a simple one this but I need a couple of the navigation tabs to open the pages they link to in a new browsing tab. I host podcasts and want the user to be able to start a podcast off in one browsing tab on their browser whilst retaining the original window in the original tab so they can still browse the site?

Any options anywhere to do this as I can’t see one?

Thanks

Child theme! Child theme! Child theme!

Copy over /bp-themes/bp-default/header.php to your child theme and modify the nav tabs to open in a new window.

What’s a child theme you may ask?

Found a plugin called page lists plus that lets you just tick a box to enable opening in a new tab. Thanks so much for the help though! Really appreciate such a quick response.

Is there anyway of changing the default tabs names by the way. I want my group tab to say ‘shares list’ rather than groups.

Any ideas or should I start a new topic?

Thanks again!

To change the slug of groups to something else, read this:
