    $cart_count = WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_count();
    $cart_url = wc_get_cart_url(); ?
    ? >
    <a class="menu-item cart-contents" href="/en/</?php echo $cart_url; ?>" title="View your shopping cart">
        <i class="fas fa-shopping-cart"></i>
        <span class="cart-contents-count"><?php echo $cart_count; ?></span>
    </a>
    <?php
}

// 使用短代码
add_shortcode('cart_count', 'display_cart_count');

// Ajax 刷新购物车商品数量
function refresh_cart_count($fragments) {
    ob_start();
    $cart_count = WC()->cart->get_cart_contents_count();
    ?>
    <a class="menu-item cart-contents" href="/en/</?php echo wc_get_cart_url(); ?>" title="View your shopping cart">
        <i class="fas fa-shopping-cart"></i>
        <span class="cart-contents-count"><?php echo $cart_count; ?></span>
    </a>
    <?php
    $fragments['a.cart-contents'] = ob_get_clean();
    return $fragments;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_add_to_cart_fragments', 'refresh_cart_count');

Next, go to Elementor's title template.

Open the Elementor header template (or any other location) where you wish to display the total number of items in your WooCommerce cart and add an icon list element. Follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to template::
   • In the left menu, click on "Templates".
   • Then select "Theme Builder" (or "Theme Builder").

2. Select the template to edit::
   • On the Theme Builder page, you will see all the templates such as header, footer, single post, archive page, etc.
   • To edit the header template, find and click on the "Header" template (or "Header").

3. Edit Template::
   • Find the title template you want to edit and click the "Edit with Elementor" button (or "Edit with Elementor").
4. Adding an icon list element::
   • In the Elementor editor, locate the "Icon List" element (or "Icon List") in the left panel.
   • Drag the Icon List element to the location where you want to display the total number of items in your WooCommerce cart.

5. Configure the icon list::

In the icon list, select one of the icon items, click on the icon, and select the shopping cart icon.

In the text field for this item, enter the following:

[cart_item_count]

6. Saving and updating::
   • Once the configuration is complete, click on the bottom of the page "update" button to save the changes.

styling

Let's make it look a little nicer, otherwise it'll look like this:

Adding custom CSS::

• Select the icon list element.
• In the left panel, click "high level"Tab.
• Find and click on the "Customize CSS" section.
• Add the following CSS code to the custom CSS input box:

.elementor-icon-list-item .cart-contents {
    position: relative;
    display: inline-block;
}
.elementor-icon-list-item .cart-contents-count {
    position: absolute; top: -10px; }
    top: -10px; right: -10px;
    right: -10px; }
    background: red; color: white; cart-contents-count { position: absolute; top: -10px; right: -10px; background: red; color: white; cart-contents-count
    color: white;
    background: red; color: white; border-radius: 50%; padding: 2px 6px;
    padding: 2px 6px; font-size: 12px; font-size: 6px
    font-size: 12px; }
}

You will see this section twice in CSS:

:nth-child(3)

Adjust both to match your own icons.

For example, if your shopping cart icon is the first in the list of icons, change to:nth-child(1)rather than:nth-child(3)The

The rest of the CSS, adjusted as needed to position and style the count.

Summary.

By adding custom PHP code snippets and integrating them into the child theme's functions.php file to create a short code to display the number of cart items. It also demonstrates how to add an icon list element to the Elementor header template and use that shortcode to display the total number of cart items on the page. Finally, use the Elementor icon to see the number of items in your WooCommerce cart in real-time! A better shopping experience for users.
