You would need to modify the dawn theme code in social-icons.liquid.

There is a section for each of the major social platforms.
Add target="_blank" to your a tag and you should be good to go.

Hello @settolive ,

You can try to follow these steps:

  • Go to Online Store → Themes → Actions → Edit code
  • Go to Sections → footer.liquid file
  • Scroll down until you find the section of the code that you want to add your social media icons to. This could be at the very bottom of the file or it could be in a specific section of the footer, depending on your theme.
  • Add the following code to create a link to your social media pages. Replace the “url” with the URL of your social media page, and “icon name” with the name of the social media icon you want to use (e.g. “facebook”, “twitter”, “instagram”).
  • Repeat the above step for each social media link you want to add, and adjust the icon name as needed.
  • Save and preview

Hope this can help.
