Hello support team,

I have a php function which includes an additional icon in Directory Starter header. It works fine.
But I included it in the HTML of the theme template, of course it would be better to have it in a php snippet.
The issue is that I do not find the right hook.

I would like to do something like this :
```
function my_icon_in_header() {
 ...
}
add_action( 'directory_starter_header', 'my_icon_in_header' );
```
Do the theme’s header has a hook like do_action( ‘your_theme_header_top’ ); ?

Many thanks

Hello Naveen,

I have recover this piece of code which includes the woocommerce shopping cart icon in the header :
```
    if ( in_array( 'woocommerce/woocommerce.php', apply_filters( 'active_plugins', get_option( 'active_plugins' ) ) ) ) {
         $count = WC()->cart->cart_contents_count;
        ?>cart->get_cart_url(); ?>" title="<?php _e( 'View your shopping cart' ); ?>"><?php
        if ( $count > 0 ) {
            ?>
            <span class="cart-contents-count"><?php echo esc_html( $count ); ?></span>
            <?php
        }
                ?><?php
```
I place it in the Directory Starter HMTL (header) and it is working well. Now to prevent this piece of code to disappear when Theme will update, I would like to move the function into a PHP Snippet.
```
function my_icon_in_header() {
 ...
}
add_action( 'directory_starter_header', 'my_icon_in_header' );
```
Do Directory Starter header has a hook like do_action( ‘directory_starter_header’ ); ?

Hi Nicolas,

If you want to customise header file of directory starter theme.
you can create a child theme and place the header.php file there with custom code.
https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/
https://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-themes/how-to-create-a-wordpress-child-theme-video/

so even after directory starter theme update. you will not lose the code.

we already have two hooks, see if you can use them
```
function my_icon_in_header() {
 ...
}
add_action( 'dt_before_header', 'my_icon_in_header' );
add_action( 'dt_after_header', 'my_icon_in_header' );
```
Thanks
