Read more button open in new tab

I use WordPress in the current version. The Read more button opens the post in the same tab. I want the post to open in a new tab (target = "_ blank"). Can I set this somewhere? Or do you know a code snippet that I can insert into the CMS code field so that clicking on the Read more button will open the post in a new tab? Same problem I have with the Featured Image Link. Hope you can help me.

Hello Thomas,
1) in wp-admin go to Appearance -> Editor, open "templates" folder and check the file name for blog. On my screenshot it is blog_5:

You don't need to edit this file, just to know its name.

2) then check "includes" folder and open the file with the same same (e.g. blog_5.php):

3) In this file find the line:

 <a class="bd-postreadmore-6 bd-button "   title="<?php echo strip_tags('Continue reading...') ?>" href="<?php echo get_permalink($post->ID) ?>"><?php _e('Continue reading...', 'default'); ?></a>

4) Add target="_blank" right after

Thank you Gina! Works well.
What if I work on the theme in Themler and then save it? Will my change in the blog_5.php then get or do I have to change that every time?
What about the link from Featured Image? Can this link to the post also be set to target_ "blank"?

The changes will be lost if you e-publish the theme from Themler, I am afraid.
As for the featured image, it is not linked so making it a link that opens in new tab would require much more coding. We don't support such modifications. There are a lot of plugins for featured images, maybe some of them will work with Themler and provide you the functionality you are looking for, this would help eiminate manual coding.
