What problem does this address?

When editing a template (e.g., a single post template) in WordPress and adding a Cover block, the option to fix the background image (has_parallax) is available only when a static image is selected manually. However, if the Cover block is set to use the post’s Featured Image dynamically, the controls for fixing the image disappear entirely.

Steps to Reproduce:

  • Edit a template (e.g., a Single Post template) in the Site Editor.
  • Add a Cover block.
  • Set a manual image → Notice that the "Fixed Background" (has_parallax) option is available.
  • Switch the image source to "Use Featured Image" → The Fixed Background option disappears.
    The background remains fixed but cannot be adjusted afterwards.

What is your proposed solution?

The Fixed Background option should be available and functional when using a Featured Image as well.
Users should be able to toggle this setting regardless of whether the image is static or dynamic.
