KeymasterThanks 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.

KeymasterHi David,
Sure, this can be done by adding the following CSS within the Additional CSS section of the Customizer or Editor:
.wp-block-navigation__container .wp-block-navigation-item:not(.button) a::after { background: red; }
You can adjust color as needed using HEX codes.
Let us know if this works.
Thanks!

KeymasterHi Diana,
Thanks for reaching out! I’ll be happy to help:
First, you should just paste that code into an empty paragraph line in your content.
Next, if the block is not appearing, it’s most likely because you need to update the options for the block. That particular block is a query block, meaning it pulls existing posts from a specified category into your content. So, you will need to select an existing category of posts in the block options. Even though the block may not be visible in the editor, it should visible in the list view. See attached screenshot. Select the block in the list view, then select the “pencil” icon for the block in the editor. There, you should be able to select your post category.
I hope this helps.
Thanks!

KeymasterHi Donna,
You should be able to change the background color for those blocks (and others) by selecting the Featured Content block, and changing the background color option. See attached screenshot for reference.
Note: I recommend using the “List View” in the editor, so you can see all blocks added to your page, and select blocks easier.
I hope this helps. Thanks!

KeymasterHi Daniel,
Sure thing! Navigate to Appearance > Editor, and double click the header to edit the header template part. Select the Group Block for the header (this is easiest using the list view option). Under the “Advanced” tab for the Group Block you should see an “Additional Classes” field. Remove the “position-fixed” class (leaving “header-wrapper”). Then save the changes. That should create a solid white header bar at the top of the site.
I attached a screenshot for reference. I hope this helps.
Thanks!

KeymasterThanks for the detailed PDF Alexis. We have pushed a new theme update (1.6.1), which should resolve the template part issues for child themes. Let us know if this update resolves the issues. Please keep in mind, you may need clear any customizations to templates for the changes to take effect.
Thanks!

KeymasterHi Alexis,
Have these issues been resolved?
I’ve logged into your site, and I’m not experiencing the issues described. That banner image appears to be displaying properly on the provided link, and the index (blog) template is available for me to edit in the Site Editor (see attached screenshot).
Regarding the template parts like the filter and banner, these parts are assigned to the parent theme. So, they will need to be added manually to templates when using a child theme.
Also, just noting again, that a child theme is not necessary for the edits you’re making to the site, and may needlessly complicate the process.
Let us know if there is anything else.
Thanks!

KeymasterHi Manu,
Do you have any security plugins active on your site? Also, there may be a firewall from your hosting provider blocking updates from third party theme and plugin vendors.
Try deactivating any security plugins. If that doesn’t work, you may need to manually update the theme following the FTP option in this link, https://organicthemes.com/tutorial/install-a-wordpress-theme/
I hope this helps.
Thanks!
