How to Add Cart Item Number or Total to Cart Icon in Divi Woocommerce

I am not sure why Divi > woocommerce does not have a Number of Products in cart option. But clients ask for it sometimes.

I have bought this plugin in the past: WooCommerce Menu Cart 

and i am not against paying  for plugins – i pay for a great many – but its the annual renewal that is the problem ( i do like life time plugins). Who pays for it the following  year – me? do i bil lthe client, with a markup, do they remeber to buy it. Its a compliuctaion i dont need.

But i have just found Menu Cart for WooCommerce and it is free, has had 100,000 downloads – so folk se it already and it works with divi. You get the option of showing  a cart icon, item number, or price or both.

Though it seemed to imply that it woudl hide the theme basket icon – it did not so I still had to add  this to my child theme style sheet:
.et_pb_menu__cart-button {
display:none !important;
}

to hide the divi icon… but, so far so good. it works!
