Hi There,

 

On the page "In the press" i have put links to articles : 

https://www.manime-watches.com/pages/in-the-press

 

What do I have to setup so when people click on the link it open a new page ? At the moment I goes directly to the link.

So this will work if you add a tag into the href called target="_blank" like this:

 

<a href="https://timeandtidewatches.com/micro-mondays-the-manime-la-f-is-a-watch-dedicated-to-the-theme-of-fr..." class="btn" target="_blank" aria-label="READ MORE" aria-describedby="a11y-external-message">READ MORE</a>

 

You know how?

Hi @Edparis

It is entirely possible, with a little bit of coding, to have external links in your store open in a new tab - however, this guide only applies to vintage themes.

For Online Store 2.0 themes, you will still need to edit the code, however, we do not have dedicated guides for that - so you may want to consult with a developer to achieve this. You could try @MOISCHKOWITZ 's suggested code, or you could check out Shopify Experts. They're a team of third-party developers who can make custom changes to your store on a contracted basis. Whatever you decide to do, it's usually a good idea to duplicate your theme as a backup

 

Meanwhile, I've had a look at your store and it looks great! Could you tell me a little more about your content strategy and your marketing plan, please? How long have you been running? Do you make the watches yourself, or do you source them from a supplier?

Thanks for your feedback and nice comment. 

Yes I'm designing the watch myself and few suppliers are building it for me. Or main marketing strategy is Facebook ads
