Social media links

[john260]

Hello   

My online store has links to my social media accounts. Does anyone know how I can get the links to open in a new tab.

Thanks @john260

Hi @john260 ,

To open the social media links in new tab other than opening on the same tab follow the steps given below.

1. Go to Shopify Admin Panel

2. Select Online Store then click on "Themes"

3. click Three dots symbol then choose "Edit code" from dropdown menu.

4. Search "social-icons.liquid" and open the file.

5. Modify the code by adding  target="_blank" in the a tags you need.

Representation code

<a href="{{ settings.social_facebook_link }}" class="link list-social__link"  target="_blank">

        {%- render 'icon-facebook' -%}

        <span class="visually-hidden">{{ 'general.social.links.facebook' | t }}</span>

      </a>

Please view the screenshot attached.
