I created the modified default.xml and created headerContent.phtml to add new content to the header panel to be position on the opposite side of the login and welcome msg. However, after uploading, modifying and clearing all caches, my new content isn't showing up on the page at all.

Vendor/Theme_name/Magento_Theme/layout/default.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="header.panel">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="header.content" template="Magento_Theme::headerContent.phtml" before="header.links" />
        </referenceContainer>    
    </body>
</page>

Vendor/Theme_name/Magento_Theme/templates/headerContent.phtml

Hello World!

  • modified to change /templates/html/ to /templates/ - mistyped the folder directory

Reset to default

You have missed out html in the template path.

So change 

template="Magento_Theme::headerContent.phtml"

To

template="Magento_Theme::html/headerContent.phtml"

  • Not that I can see, have you cleared caches?

  • I don't think it matters but Magento don't use camel case for template names, you could try changing headerContent to header_content and see if that makes a difference. Again clear Magento cache after making that change
