How do I remove the cart and account login from my site header?

Topic summary

A user seeks to remove the cart and account login elements from their site header using the Refresh theme, as these features won’t be needed.

Solutions Provided:

  • Shopify Settings Approach: Disable the “Show login link in header” option via Shopify Admin → Settings → Customer accounts. This solution was tested but did not work for the user.

  • CSS Code Solution: Add custom CSS code to the theme.liquid file before the </body> tag to hide both elements using display:none styling. This approach successfully resolved the issue.

  • Manual Theme Editing: Alternatively, directly edit the header.liquid file to comment out or remove cart/login code, or check theme settings for built-in hiding options.

Status: Resolved. The CSS code method effectively removed both header elements as requested.
