In this batch of template update, 22 Joomla templates will get the latest Helix Ultimate and SP Page Builder technologies, several improvements, and fixes.
All of our Joomla templates based on Helix Ultimate have been updated with the latest version of their tools (Helix Ultimate, SP Page Builder Pro, and Joomla)

We are happy that a large number of users who are craving for the new features of our Helix Ultimate and SP Page Builder in their templates will get them. This time, we are updating Helix Ultimate based Joomla templates. We will update the other ones in the days to come too.

SP Page Builder Pro
There have been some remarkable changes in SP Page Builder Pro recently. The changes include introducing Font Awesome 5, releasing a few new addons, and bringing enhancements & fixes.
SP Page Builder Pro now offers full support for Font Awesome 5. Now you would be able to use Font Awesome 5’s 3 different icon styles, a separate category for brand icons, and many more. Since you have been using Font Awesome 4 for long, we've also made it compatible so that it creates no issues with your previous pages.
Helix Ultimate
Just like SP Page Builder Pro, Helix Ultimate has also introduced Font Awesome 5 in its latest update. With updated Helix Ultimate, you will be able to use new icons of Font Awesome 5 along with all other features that it brings. For all of the icons you used of Font Awesome 4, we've made it compatible with Font Awesome 5 with a shims file.
You will enjoy page enhancement and SEO enhancement with the option to add an “alt” tag to the featured image. Apart from that, we’ve brought some specific changes to some of the templates above. All necessary components including SP Simple Portfolio to several specific templates got updated.
Also, we’ve fixed several issues in different templates including Testimonial Carousel Pro person image alignment issue in Fixter, PHP warning Issue in Konstra, module language missing issue, API key language missing issue, and course title PHP warning issue in Language School, home page blog title on click 404-page redirect issue in Newsberg, category page subtitle alignment issue in Startup Landing template, and several more.

Instead of using JCE as the site wide editor I would LOVE to use SP Pagebuilder instead.
Using the power of SP Pagebuilder inside of other extensions would be awesome.
I know we can use SP Pagebuilder on articles but if we could use on let’s say forum posts, virtumart product descriptions, digital download descriptions, etc just by replacing JCE, This would be amazing!!!
So can you do it?
Cheers, Adam
Just installing the new template and switching[quote][/quote] to it, almost all go banana and manual tweaking is almost hopeless and too time-consuming.
What is the way forward under such circumstances?
To be able to have things look very close, I would have to install the demo of that template somewhere, then walk through all the pages to see the CSS classes and how they are used, then copy them on my site. Not sure if I am communicating.
We need a restaurant theme where the menu is in rows and not in columns.
Cuisine has rows but is Helix 3
Restora is Helix Ultimate but has columns
Also, Cuisine adds menu numbers automatically - we do not need this.
Thanks...
However, I am not talking about the navigation menu - I am referring to the food menus.
Cuisine uses .sppb-row and Restora uses .sppb-columns
