Can't get "Customer" icon to show in Shopify Ella theme

Topic summary

A user is unable to display the customer/account icon in their Shopify store’s header using the Ella theme. The icon should appear next to the shopping cart but isn’t showing up.

Solution provided:

  • Navigate to Shopify Admin → SettingsCustomer accounts
  • Enable the “Show login links” option
  • This built-in Shopify setting controls the visibility of the account/login icon in the theme header

The issue appears to be a configuration setting rather than a theme-specific problem. Screenshots were shared showing both the missing icon location and the admin panel setting that needs to be enabled.

I’m not able to get the customer icon to show next to my cart. Running the Ella theme. My website is www.deepvrigs.com. Wondering if anyone might be able to point me in the direction why it will not show up?

Hello @deepvrigs ,

Shopify provides a built-in option to show or hide the account (login) icon from the admin panel. To display the icon, follow these steps:

  1. Go to your Shopify admin and click on Settings.

  2. Select Customer accounts, then enable the Show login links option.
