    Hello, we purchased the All Access which should have included the Builder Widgets Pro and everything else, however the plugin remains inactive even though the theme license has been activated and applied, it still says we should upgrade to Version 2.0 for $39 a year for additional widgets (such as split content and toggles and tabs, both of which we need). This Pro v 2.0 be included in the All Access, how do we activate that if so?

    There is also no “organic custom page template” option in the Stax theme, and while I can add limited widgets there is no way to customize the appearance as shown on these instructions, while the plugin remains inactive. https://organicthemes.com/tutorial/how-to-use-organic-customizer-widgets/

    EDIT: it appears from these 2022 instructions below I don’t need to use the widget block any longer? Is this accurate? Do we no longer need to add the Widget areas then? Would all of the Builder Widgets Pro options then be found under blocks or…? The “toggles and tabs” and other Builder Widgets does not come up here, and I still cannot use any of them since there is no “custom organic page template”?? https://organicthemes.com/builder/

    “Essentially, all content is added using blocks within the default page and post editor of WordPress. There is no need to apply a page template, or add widgets as you may be used to with the Builder Widgets plugin. All blocks are added directly in the page editor, and different blocks may be added by clicking the blue “+” button in the editor. Searching for “Organic” in the blocks reveals all Organic Blocks that may be used.”

    Thanks for reaching out, and I’m sorry to hear of your issues!

    For clarification, the Organic Blocks plugin should be used with STAX, NOT the Builder Widgets plugin. While the Builder Widgets plugin is technically compatible with STAX given a couple prerequisites (you will also need the Classic Editor and Classic Widgets plugins installed), using Builder Widgets with STAX kind of defeats the whole purpose of using the STAX Theme. Since the STAX Theme is a block theme, it’s designed to work with blocks in the latest editor — not widgets.

    The Builder Widgets plugin was developed for older PHP based themes that do not utilize the benefits of the new modern WordPress editor. The plugin is still useful for older themes, but it’s unnecessary for STAX. In fact, I wouldn’t recommend Builder Widgets plugin for any block-based theme. The Organic Blocks plugin adds all the functionality of the Builder Widgets plugin, but within the form of blocks instead of widgets. Additionally, the blocks are much more flexible and user friendly when working with a block theme.

    I hope this helps clarify things. Let us know if there is anything else.
