Is there any conditional tag to target /blogs/ or /blogs/blog directory?

        {% liquid
            **if blogs**
                assign blog_menu = section.settings.blog_menu
                assign mobile_menu = section.settings.mobile_menu
                if mobile_menu == blank
                    assign menu = blog_menu
                else
                    assign menu = mobile_menu
                endif
            
            else
                assign main_menu = section.settings.main_menu
                assign mobile_menu = section.settings.mobile_menu
                
                if mobile_menu == blank
                    assign menu = main_menu
                else

Hi @elliyas

  • template is global variable. So you can use anywhere.

  • If you check a tag or an url that has ‘/blogs/’. You only need check

if tag contains '/blogs/' or tag contains 'blog'

endif

the same for url
