Thanks for your Answer,
i had to disable the SCSS to CSS switch in ALL wimble Templates - that worked out!

Hi Bruce,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

This issue is caused by a missing SCSS variable ($header_bg_color) in the Helix Ultimate preset, which prevents CSS from compiling.

Please go to:
Templates → Styles → Your Template → Presets

  • Select a default preset or
  • Set values in Custom Preset (e.g., Header Background Color)

Then click Save — this will regenerate the CSS and fix the issue.

Thanks
