Ok solved it. That should have been easier for me to work out. I will post the solution here just in case anyone else is trying to solve this.
in the Theme Options/Social Links just add " target="_blank onto the end of the link to your social media page. Make sure you have the htpp in your address too.
I was trying that originally but adding tags to close it off which is why it did not work.
copy and past from below, no space between that and your link.
I would like my Facebook and twitter links in the footer to open in a new tab.
I did try adding target blank along with the link but that did not work.
Any help appreciated.
