Current Issue:

Proposed Solution:
Another user provided replacement code that removes the custom <a> tag wrapper and external URL, keeping only the icon rendering. This should restore default Shopify account functionality.

So my code for the Account Icon in the header was this below. The reason why I have used this is so when clients click on the Account Icon it takes them to a website instead. I would like this button reversed to original. When I delete the website only (in bold) from the code, the Account Icon takes me to a ‘404 Page Not Found’ on my website instead of Account login for Shopify or something. How can I do this?

{%- capture account_icon -%}
<a
class=“header__icon-touch header__icon-touch–account”
href=https://lsaccountingfirm.joinportal.com/login?step=signIn
aria-label=“{{ ‘general.accessibility.go_account’ | t }}”
target=“_blank”

{% render ‘icon-button’ with icon: ‘account’ %}

{%- endcapture -%}

replace your code with this one

{%- capture account_icon -%}

  {% render 'icon-button' with icon: 'account' %}

{%- endcapture -%}
