We have identified that the “Grimlock Post Section” plugin appears to be required for proper functionality, but it seems your company has not updated this plugin recently.
At this point, we cannot determine whether the plugin has been intentionally removed or if it is simply broken and left unresolved. Additionally, we are unsure how to proceed with fixing this issue on our end.
Could you please either restore the Grimlock Post Section plugin or suggest an appropriate alternative solution?
We would greatly appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter.
Hi Kim,
I believe you’re referring to the Grimlock Post Section block. That block was provided by Grimlock plugin, but we have since introduced a new block called Grimlock Query to display posts on your pages.
The new Grimlock Query block functions similarly—only better. For this reason, the old Grimlock Post Section block has been hidden and is no longer available in the blocks panel. Any instances of the old block that were previously added will continue to work, but we recommend using the new version for future pages.
I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, please let me know.
Best regards,
Dear Manathan,
We’ve learned that Grimlock Post Section has been replaced by Grimlock Query,
but we’re unsure where or how to download or access this new plugin.Could you please provide the download link or let us know how we can obtain the Grimlock Query plugin?
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,
I hope this message finds you well.
I am writing to kindly follow up on the additional inquiry I submitted on April 12, 2025. As I have not yet received a response, I would appreciate it if you could provide an update or clarification regarding the matter at your earliest convenience.
Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your reply.
Hi Kim,
Really sorry for the delay, we have quite a lot of work at this moment.
Grimlock query is a Gutenberg Block, not a plugin. It is provided by Grimlock plugin, already installed on your website. As these blocs are brand new, they are not activated by default yet. To activate our new blocks, simply add the following code snippet to your website:
Activate Grimlock Wrapper :
add_action( 'after_setup_theme', function() { add_theme_support( 'grimlock-wrapper-block' ); } );To add this code snippet to your site, we recommend that you use the Code Snippets plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/code-snippets/). If you have never activated this plugin, please read the following post: Adding Custom PHP Without Changing Your Child Theme.
Please also note that we don’t provide any theme customization. So, you shouldn’t expect other snippets from us unless it’s to fix an issue stemming from our own codebase. We always try our best to help theme users whenever we can and only provide code snippets out of courtesy to prevent them from waiting for the next update.
With this snippet, there will be a new block that might interest you: Grimlock Wrapper. I think you’ll be quite amazed with these new blocks!
Regards,
I have added the shared Grimlock Query PHP code using the Code Snippets plugin I’m currently using (please refer to the attached image). However, it doesn’t seem to have made any changes.
I understand that Grimlock Query is a Gutenberg Block. While Gutenberg is already installed, searching for “Gutenberg block” brings up a wide variety of plugins. If a specific block plugin is required for Grimlock Query to work properly, could you please let me know exactly which one is needed?
Hi Kim,
If you can’t find the “Grimlock Query” in the list of blocks, could you please try with the code snippet plugin I suggested you ?
Be aware that only two plugins (Grimlock and Kirki) are actually required to make our theme perfectly work. 🙂
Kind regards,
I hope you’re doing well.
I would like to ask two questions:1. Regarding Gutenberg Block Editor Plugin
In a previous reply, you mentioned the use of Gutenberg blocks. If you were referring to a specific Gutenberg Block Editor plugin (and not just the default Gutenberg plugin), could you please specify exactly which plugin it is?I ask because I previously installed both the Gutenberg plugin and another Gutenberg Block Editor plugin based on your guidance, which unfortunately caused my site to crash. I had to delete the plugins manually via FTP to recover the site. To avoid repeating this issue, I’d appreciate it if you could clarify the exact plugin you are referring to.
2. Grimlock Query Widget Activation Issue
As shown in the attached screenshot, I have located the Grimlock Query widget, and it is currently listed under Inactive Widgets. However, I am unable to activate it because the “Update” button does not work.Could you please suggest a solution for this issue?
Thank you in advance for your support and assistance.

Hi Kim,
I think there is a confusion about Gutenberg.
Please be aware that our demo have been build with Gutenberg editor. It is the default editor for WordPress and is recommended for many reasons, including its ease of use, speed and lightness. To know more about how to use Gutenberg, I think this article from WP Beginner might help you: How to Use the WordPress Block Editor.
In your case, widgets are inactives because you can now use Gutenberg blocks in the widgets area. Note that Grimlock widgets and Grimlock blocks have the same characteristics.
Therefore, you don’t need to install any other plugins in order to use Gutenberg. Only Kirki and Grimlock are required to make the theme works. Once these plugins are installed and activated, you should be able to use all standards Gutenberg Blocks, as well as our custom made blocks.
I hope this will help you. Don’t hesitate to come back to us if you have other questions.
Best,
Hi Manathan,
Thank you for your previous response. I understand that your theme is built to work with the default Gutenberg editor, and I appreciate the clarification regarding required plugins.
However, I would like to follow up because the issue with the inactive widgets remains unresolved.
As I mentioned earlier, I’m trying to restore and activate a widget (such as the Grimlock Query widget) from the “Inactive Widgets” area. However, the “Update” button in the widget section is completely disabled. Because of this, I cannot move forward and save any widget changes — including placing them in the appropriate widget area to match the demo layout.
To clarify further:
– The “Update” button remains unclickable, even after making changes to widget settings.
– This occurs not only with Grimlock widgets but also with other basic widgets (e.g., default WordPress blocks, spacing, forms, etc.).
– I’ve tried different browsers and cleared cache, but the issue persists.
– There are no visible JavaScript errors in the browser console when I try to click the Update button.This makes it impossible to activate or modify widgets as needed.
Could you please advise on how to resolve this issue? If there are any known compatibility issues or steps I should follow, I’d greatly appreciate your guidance.Thank you again for your support..
Hi Kim,
Thank you for this clarification. 🙂
It’s best if we take a quick look at this. Could you create a new website user for us please? If possible with administrator capabilities so we can make a quick check of your settings.
You can post the user name and password in your next reply and mark it as private to keep this between us.Also, are we free to deactivate plugins for our tests? In this case, I invite you to make a backup before we investigate your website further in order to make sure you don’t loose any data if something goes wrong.
Thank you.

Thank you Kim.
We investigated, but we couldn’t find why we can’t edit widgets in Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets.
To add the query in the menu, we had to
- go to Dashboard > Appearance > Customize > Widgets. Then, in the widget area of your choice (it doesn’t matter), you can :
- add the query and set it as you want it. I used Grimlock Query block, set the articles to display to 3 and selected the right category. Then, I clicked on “update”.
- Once the block is saved, I was able to move it thanks to this “move” icon (an arrow icon displayed when the block is selected). I saved by clicking again on “update”.
- Then, in Dashboard > Appearance > Menu, I was able to add the widget. The last widget you added is on the bottom of the list.
This doesn’t solve the issue, but it helps you achieve what you want.
Concerning your issue, my best guess would be that this issue is related to the server. If you want to investigate further, could you please try to install the theme on a fresh install and check if this issue still appears ?
Best,
