How do I get a banner link to open in a new window?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A user added a banner section linking to an external website (Young Living) but needed it to open in a new window instead of the same window.

Proposed Solution:

  • Add target="_blank" attribute to the banner’s HTML/Liquid code
  • Alternatively, hire a Shopify expert to modify the banner section code

Resolution:
The original poster resolved the issue independently by removing the banner button entirely and instead inserting the link directly into the description text, which now opens in a new window as desired.

Hi,

I added a banner section to the bottom of my Home page that links to another website. It is set to open in the same window.

How do I get the banner link to open in a new window? I don’t see an option.

Cosmic Serenity Shop - the banner link goes to my Young Living website.

Thanks,

Jeanne Melanson

Hi ,

you can either edit the html to have target=“_blank” to banner liquid or have an expert edit the banner section to have the feature included to show on the customiser updating the banner code . I can assist with that .

Thanks, I actually couldn’t find that option. So what I did was get rid of the button altogether and inserted the link in the description text. It opens in a new window now. :grinning_face:
