Cart block (Full Site Editing / Block themes)

Since version 2.11.0, WooCommerce Menu Cart supports Full Site Editing, that is, if you’re using a block theme, you can add the menu cart item to your site menus while editing your site layout using the block editor.

Please note that your active WordPress theme should be compatible with Full Site Editing to be able to add the Menu Cart this way. If you’re using a classic theme, you have to select the menu(s) in which you want to add the Menu Cart, under WooCommerce > Menu Cart Setup > Select the menu(s) in which you want to display the Menu Cart:

Follow these steps to add the cart block to your site menu(s):

  1. Go to Dashboard > Appearance > Editor, or click on the Edit site menu within the top bar, if you’re logged as an admin user on the site’s front-end.
  2. Find the navigation block in which you want to add the Cart block, click on it to select it, then click on the plus (+) icon to add a new menu item link.
  3. Then, transform the link type into a Cart item, by clicking on the chain/link icon, and then select the Cart option.
