 * I found the root cause of scroll problems that many users are experiencing with
   Phlox theme.
 * PROBLEM:
   When “Enable Page Animation” is enabled (Customizer > General > Page
   Animation and Preloading Settings), the scroll functionality is completely blocked
   on all pages. Users cannot scroll through page content at all.
 * ROOT CAUSE:
   The page animation JavaScript intercepts scroll events to create 
   transitions between pages, but it incorrectly blocks normal scroll within a single
   page.
 * SOLUTION:
   Go to: Customizer > General > Page Animation and Preloading SettingsDisable:“
   Enable Page Animation”Publish the changes
 * After disabling this option, scroll will work normally again.
 * RELATED ISSUES:
   This appears to be the same problem reported in this thread: 
   [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-content-not-scrolling-or-fully-visible-on-front-end-with-phlox-theme/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/post-content-not-scrolling-or-fully-visible-on-front-end-with-phlox-theme/)
 * SUGGESTED FIX FOR DEVELOPERS:
   The animation JavaScript should only handle page
   transitions during navigation between different pages, NOT intercept scroll events
   within a single page. Please update the animation code to allow normal scrolling
   while still providing page transition effects.
 * I hope this helps other users experiencing scroll issues with Phlox!
