Icons in Header

Hi. I really want to incorporate an icon of a cart in my header. I can’t figure out how to do this with the new version of WordPress – is there anyone who can help?

Hi @mullexoxo if your site is using the Twenty Twenty Three theme you can add any kind of blocks to your header.

I would suggest adding an image block next to your navigation block in your header, you can then upload an image of a cart icon which you can link to any page.

The Image block is not available, when I try and search for it, only Site Icon pops up. Any idea how to fix this, or what could cause this?

Hi @mullexoxo – it sounds like you might be searching for the Image block within the Navigation block, but that won’t be possible, as only specific blocks are available inside that one.

Try adding the Image block outside the Navigation block, but still inside the Header template part – it should come up there. If you’re having trouble inserting a block outside the Navigation block, I’d suggest using the List view to better see the template structure.

The other thing to keep in mind is that if you’re using an eCommerce plugin, it often provide its own method for adding a cart icon into your navigation without needing to do it manually. Folks in the plugin’s support forum should be able to help with that!
