Thank you so much for getting back to me. I am almost done, apart from populating the website, however I am still stuck with the shopping cart widget displayed to the left of my search button in the navigation menu area.
I have gone into appearance>widgets as you said and did find the shopping cart widget, but it doesn’t seem to be assigned to anywhere, it’s in the “available widgets” area, waiting to be activated and assigned a location. Am confused. Could you please talk me through it :)
