If you've recently updated to WordPress 6.7 and found yourself unable to select where to apply your templates in Oxygen Builder, you're not alone. Many users have reported being unable to access the template application options under the Singular, Archive, and Other accordion sections. Here's a simple developer tool workaround until the permanent fix arrives.
The Problem
After updating to WordPress 6.7, users discovered that the accordion sections for template application (Singular, Archive, and Other) wouldn't expand when clicked. This made it impossible to specify where templates should be applied, affecting both new and existing templates.
The Temporary Solution
While waiting for the official fix in Oxygen 4.9.1, you can use this browser developer tools workaround:
- Right-click on the page and select "Inspect" (or press F12) to open your browser's developer tools
- Locate one of the three accordion sections (Singular, Archive, or Other) in the Elements panel
- Find the
li
element with the class "control-section" - Look for the
div
element inside it with the class "accordion-section-content" - In the styles panel, uncheck the 'display: none' property
After following these steps, you should be able to access the accordion menus and update your template applications as needed.
Official Fix
Oxygen has released version 4.9.1 beta which includes a fix for this issue. If you prefer not to use the developer tools workaround, you can:
- Log into your Oxygen Customer Portal
- Navigate to the Beta Access page
- Download and install Oxygen 4.9.1
Alternative Options
If neither solution works for you, some users have reported success by temporarily rolling back WordPress to version 6.6.2 until a more permanent solution is available.
