Hi @JaneCout ,

This is Richard from PageFly - Landing page builder, I’d like to suggest this idea:
Step 1: Go to Online Store->Theme->Edit code
Step 2: Sections->/footer.liquid-> Find “list-social__link” → Add attribute target=“_blank” to tag:

I hope it would help you
Best regards,

I don’t have ‘‘list-social__link’’ under ‘‘footer.liquid’’ section. :thinking:

This is what I can find under ‘‘footer.liquid’’ that speak about social. media

Hi @JaneCout ,

I had the same “problem” and the solution from @PageFly-Richard worked fine for me, the only difference is that I had to edit the file
Snippets->social-icons.liquid

Hope this helps
