Fix Woocommerce Cart Becoming Transparent With Header Builder

If you decided to switch from the old Astra header to a new Header Footer Builder, you might have noticed that your WooCommerce mini cart became transparent. 

Astra Theme version 3.6.7 came with the fix for this, but the fix is not applied automatically to existing websites. Learn how to apply it to your website.

Why Do I Need This Improvement?

The WooCommerce cart added to your old Astra header had the background set to white color by default. 

Switching to Astra’s Header Footer Builder caused the cart to become transparent.

Though Astra 3.6.7 update comes with the fix, this won’t be applied automatically to your website to avoid unwanted effects on your existing websites.

How To Fix This?

For all new websites, this fix will be applied automatically when the theme is updated. 

As mentioned, for the existing website, this fix needs to be activated by adding a filter. This was done to allow you to check how these changes apply to your website and make any changes if needed. 

To apply the improvement to your existing website, you would need to add a filter to the functions.php file of your Child Theme. If you don’t have your Child Theme installed, please check this article on how to do it. Please add the following filter:

add_filter( 'astra_apply_background_to_outline_cart_builder_element', '__return_true' );
