How to disable shopping cart Icon

Question

I need to disable the shopping cart icon that is located at the top header of the webpage. How do I disable the shopping cart icon on my website?

Answer 1

Assuming you are using Magento 1.9 with RWD Theme, then locate this file:

app/design/frontend/rwd/default/template/checkout/cart/minicart.phtml

And delete (or comment out) this line:

<span class="icon"></span>

And that will remove the icon.

EDIT: Fixed path name

Answer 2

depends on what theme fallback you are using, copy file in your theme and remove line with this code:

Enterprise File:

app/design/frontend/enterprise/default/template/page/html/header.phtml

Enterprise Code:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('topCart') ?>

RWD File:

app/design/frontend/rwd/default/template/page/html/header.phtml

RWD Code:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('minicart_head'); ?>
