NEWBIE! Live basket and social links

Hi,
My site is https://www.electekk.com

You can see on the main header i have just put the social and the basket as an image as part of the main banner.

How can I make these work live?

Cheers, sorry if its a dumb question!

Jake

I'm viewing on a mobile device so I cannot see the image details, but are your social icons, and basket actually part of your header image itself or just positioned over the header image?

They are actually part of the header image, that's what I went to change I went them to work not just be an image but I'm not sure how to get the basket and stuff to that location on the site

Thanks

If your icons are part of one big image (your header) then you are not going to achieve that. Your icons each need to be separate images, then you can link each individual image to their respective destination.

See what I mean, it's all one image.
How were you intent on indicating the totals in your customers basket by using a static image showing £0.00?

Re: NEWBIE! Live basket and social links

You need to remove the icons and cart text from your logo image as picandnix says. Then you can install a "shopping cart in header" mod from Plugins and style/position it to match your example.
Shopping Cart Totals In Header
Shoppingcart/Freeship in Header
The second one probably is more capable of taking detailed CSS styling.

Re: NEWBIE! Live basket and social links

Yes, I put it all as one header for my reference, I know I had to have separate images I just didn't know how to get them on the header, I will have a look at that plug-in
