Block Hero checks each connected section against your live theme every hour. It also checks when you publish or update your live theme, just before each schedule starts, and whenever you open the section’s page.

​
The Theme connection card

Open a section’s page from Blocks. The Theme connection card shows:
  • Live theme and your theme’s name.
  • The status: Connected or Needs you.
  • The page and section, and when it was Last checked.
theme section page > Theme connection card: Live theme with the theme name, the Connected badge, the page, section and Last checked time, the more actions...
Open the more actions menu on the card for:
  • Check connection: check the section against your live theme straight away.
  • View in theme editor: open the section’s page in the theme editor.
When the section is connected, the View button also opens the theme editor.

​
If you publish a different theme

The connection follows your live theme. If the newly published theme still has the section with its links (for example, a copy of your old theme), it stays Connected. If not, it shows Needs you with the settings to link. Follow Link fields in the theme editor.

​
What Needs you means and how to fix it

Some settings aren’t linked to Block Hero yet. This is normal right after you connect a section or switch on more fields. Follow Link fields in the theme editor, then click Check connection.
The section was removed from its page, or your live theme doesn’t have it. Check the page in the theme editor, then click Check connection. If you removed the section on purpose, disconnect the block.
You connected the same section again as a new block, for example after publishing a new theme. One section can only belong to one block. Keep the block you want and disconnect the other.
Block Hero couldn’t read your theme just then. Wait a moment and click Check connection.
