3 years ago Thank you for flagging this @katiebethbrown !
I'm not able to replicate this using the legacy widgets option and when trying to switch between the legacy/block widgets, I don't see any changes.
I'm flagging this here(p2-p7DVsv-cqD#comment-37381) for discussion as I'm not entirely sure it's theme-specific.
Steps to Reproduce
When the change from Classic to Block widgets took place, category widgets were converted to a heading block and a categories block.
The heading block then loses the styling from the theme, which has to be added manually. There doesn't seem to be a way to code the theme's custom colors into the CSS either, so if they change colors in the customizer they will need to manually update the CSS color to match (since the widget headings use the theme color for the underline).
What I expected to happen
For the widget headings to be styled to match the theme demo, no matter how they were added.
What actually happened
The legacy widgets retained the correct styling, but widgets converted to blocks were not styled to match the theme. (ie - the
Categoriesheading in the screenshot)Context

Available Workarounds
Using the blog sticker to deactivate block widgets allows the correct theme styling to apply, though that isn't really a sustainable workaround.
