Cart icon not appearing, Impulse theme

Topic summary

Issue: The cart icon was missing from the header on a Shopify store using the Impulse theme.

Key steps:

  • A site link was provided so others could inspect the issue.
  • Two CSS-based fixes were suggested. CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) controls the visual presentation of site elements.

Proposed fixes:

  • Set the header icon color in assets/base.css to ensure SVG icons aren’t invisible: “.header-item.header__icons * { fill: #000000 !important; }”.
  • Force the cart icon link to display by overriding a hidden class in Assets > theme.css: “a.hide.site-nav__link.site-nav__link–icon { display: inline-block !important; }”.

Outcome:

  • Implementing the display override in theme.css made the cart icon appear, resolving the issue.

Status:

  • Resolved. No further action requested or outstanding questions.
