Another way to totally override the cart.php is to copy:

woocommerce/templates/cart/cart.php to   
yourtheme/woocommerce/cart/cart.php

Then do whatever you need at the yourtheme/woocommerce/cart/cart.php

You can use function  wc get page id   cart    to get the ID of the page  This function will use the page setup as  cart  page and not the slug  Meaning it will keep working also when you setup a different url for your  cart  on the settings page  This works for all kind of Woocommerce special page  like  checkout    shop  etc   example   if  wc get page id   cart       get the ID           Do something

WooCommerce has a number of options for modifying the cart  and checkout pages  Here are the three I d recomend   Use WooCommerce Conditional Tags  is cart   and is checkout   functions return true on their page  Example   if   is cart      is checkout           echo  This is the cart  or checkout page        Modify the template file  The main  cart template file is located at wp-content themes  current-theme  woocommerce cart cart php  The main  checkout template file is located at wp-content themes  current-theme  woocommerce checkout form-checkout php  To edit these  first copy them to your child theme   Use wp-content themes  current-theme  page- slug  php  page- slug  php is the second template that will be used  coming after manually assigned ones through the WP dashboard   This is safer than my other solutions  because if you remove WooCommerce  but forget to remove this file  the code inside  that may rely on WooCommerce functions  won t break  because it s never called  unless of cause you have a page with slug  slug     For example    wp-content themes  current-theme  page-cart php wp-content themes  current-theme  page-checkout php

I used the page-checkout php template to change the header for my cart page  I renamed it to page-cart php in my  wp-content themes childtheme woocommerce   This gives you more control over the wrapping html  header and footer
