Goal: Add a sticky header (header stays visible on scroll) to the Debutify 6.2.1 Shopify theme via code, avoiding the paid add-on.
Guidance provided:
Add custom CSS/JS in the theme.liquid layout file to fix .header__wrapper and toggle an “active” class on scroll. Screenshots showed the expected result.
Issues encountered:
Could not see or edit code when working on a theme copy; attempts to delete/reinstall theme.liquid failed.
Confusion about whether Debutify’s payment plans restrict code edits; Debutify support mentioned placing scripts before for existing paid clients maintaining add-ons, which added to uncertainty.
Resolution and outcome:
Editing the live (published) theme instead of the copy allowed code insertion; sticky header implemented successfully.
Follow-up request to switch to a white header with black text on scroll was said to require custom Liquid beyond CSS. The original poster later resolved this themselves using ChatGPT.
Status: Resolved. No remaining action items or open questions.

thats the answer of the support →
To add your code to the theme.liquid file in Debutify Theme, you should follow these steps:
Go to your Shopify Admin and select “Online Store.”
Select your Debutify Shopify theme, click on “…” and choose “Edit code.”
Open the theme.liquid file.
Paste your script before the closing tag.
This process is for existing paid clients who have been using Debutify theme since the second quarter of the year or before and need to place a script code to keep using the add-ons.
ok now it worked i tried the whole time to code the copy but i had to code the theme that is online…
one question how do i need to code if i want it to be white, so that when i scroll down the colour of the words changes to black so i can see it on the bar…
Since it’s not possible via CSS only and will require custom liquid coding so I suggest you to hire a Shopify developer if you’re not familiar with coding. Feel free to let me know if you want me to help you out and I would be more than happy to help you with that.
