First, please be sure that you have selected ‘always’ sticky for the header section in the Editor. I don’t see the correct classes being add when I scroll which indicates the header has either been customized or that option is simply not checked off. This could solve this issue.
IF it’s been customized, you can revert the header file to it’s original by going to Online Store > Themes > “…” > Edit Code. Open the header.liquid file under the Sections folder. At the top under “Recent Changes” click the drop down and then scroll to Original and hit save. Again, please check off ‘sticky always’ for the header section in the Editor as well.
If you can’t revert OR have not customized the code AND the option for ‘always’ sticky IS checked off and it’s STILL NOT working, you’ll have to make 2 changes.
- Add this (or replace the current one - starts around line 350) to the header.liquid file anywhere before the “{% schema %}” tag.

}
customElements.define('sticky-header', StickyHeader);
{% endjavascript %}
You’ll then go to the base.css file and all the way at the bottom make a few new line breaks and add:
.sticky-on-scroll {
position: sticky;
top: 0;
z-index: 4;
}
Please let me know how far this gets you and we can go from there.
