How to get only one of the main menus to open with a new tab

Store Design
, , ,

Topic summary

Goal: Make only the main menu item “WHOLESALE” open in a new tab and appear grey in an Aurora (third‑party) theme.

Progress and guidance:

  • Color: A CSS approach added in theme.liquid successfully turned the “WHOLESALE” item grey. The Aurora dev later noted that in Aurora v3.1.0 menu item colors can be set directly in the theme settings (no custom CSS needed).
  • Open in new tab: Needs adding target=“_blank” to the specific “WHOLESALE” link in the menu markup so only that item opens in a new tab. This requires locating where the menu is rendered and adding a conditional for that handle/title.

Open questions/next steps:

  • The requester couldn’t find the “WHOLESALE” tag in the code. A contributor suggested adding a condition in the menu rendering code and offered to implement it via collaborator access.
  • The requester asked how to grant collaborator access.

Status: Partially resolved (coloring works; Aurora 3.1.0 offers built‑in coloring). Opening only the “WHOLESALE” item in a new tab remains pending until the correct menu template/snippet is identified and updated with target=“_blank”.

My store is using an aura theme, and the address is https://eu.nakyangyarn.com/
The cookie policy is not perfect and is protected, and the password is ‘aaa0123’.

I’m using a third-party theme called ‘Aurora’.

I would like to make sure that only the ‘WHOLESALE’ menu is opened with a new tab among the main menus on my website.
And can I set the ‘WHOLESALE’ menu to look grey only?

Thank you! The grey tag works fine.

Can you tell me how to locate the wholesale tag easily?

I’ve tried opening a lot of codes, but I couldn’t find the location of the “wholesale” tag.

It need to add condition in the code. If necessary, I can help you implement it. so I need to access your store as a collaborator if possible.

Can I get some help? What should I set up to give you access as a collaborator?

Hi! Ann from Aurora dev team here. A small addition regarding coloring the ‘WHOLESALE’ menu item. In the new Aurora version (3.1.0) it is possible to color menu items right in the theme, without using CSS or custom code.
