Topic summary
Goal: Keep the cart drawer for add-to-cart, but make the header cart icon go to /cart.
Key findings:
- Editing the header.liquid anchor didn’t work because theme JS overrides the click.
- In cart-drawer.js, the function setHeaderCartIconAccessibility() prevents the default link and opens the drawer instead.
Solution implemented:
- Comment out the call in cart-drawer.js:
// this.setHeaderCartIconAccessibility(); - This restores the default link behavior so the header cart icon navigates to /cart, while the drawer still opens on add-to-cart.
Outcomes:
- Multiple users confirm the fix works and is simple to apply.
Related updates:
- Users are customizing the “Continue Shopping” link (default: /collections/all) to point to the home page or Featured Products.
- Styling tweaks to Classic Account pages via custom CSS; theme designer workflow is inconvenient due to frequent sign-in prompts.
Status:
- Primary issue resolved (header cart icon now goes to /cart).
- Additional customizations ongoing per store preference.
