I hope the issue in PB 3.8.5 has been fixed before updating these so you can edit modules properly in the backend?
The templates are not fully 4.1 compatible! If you are already using php8 you are not able to use the templates with 4.1! You need to downgrade php to 7.x or downgrade Joomla below 4.1.
All templates with Helix 3.0.2 are affected.
Is there a reason that these templates were not updated to Helix Ultimate at the same time as Joomla 4?
What is the support lifespan for Helix 3?
Thanks
If you check the repository at github and the activity.
It is already EOL from this perspective.
The developers last responded in the repository in 2018.
see: [](https://github.com/JoomShaper/Helix3/issues)
Until 2017 there were still regular new releases and since 2017 the last update took years.
see: [](https://github.com/JoomShaper/Helix3/releases)
Also based on the forum, I would not expect any new releases in the next few months.
Maybe when 7.4 is completely EOL in November, an update could happen.
Jens,
Thank you for the reply.
This was my fear - that Helix 3 has no future.
Therefore, why would anyone consider purchasing the templates that have been updated to Joomla 4.x but still remain on Helix 3?
Greetings Steve,
from a none technical point of view.
A normal User won't notice this difference, he will only see a very nice looking template with Joomla 4.1 support.
For example:
Floox v2.0.0 Changelog:
Update: Latest version of Joomla 3 - v3.10.6
Update: Latest version of Joomla 4 - v4.1.0
Update: Latest version of Helix3 3.0.2
Update: Later version of SP Page Builder 3.8.5
Fix: All known bugs
As Customer without any technical background, this looks awesome.
Latest versions of Joomla and the Extensions Page-Builder and Helix3.
If you don't know that Helix3 is old and Helix Ultimate is the newest version or generation, you could think Helix3 sounds like a relatively new or up to date.
The selling page also implies, it is a maintained template and up to date.

-> Updated On 14 March 2022
None of the Helix3 Templates are worth buying.
Helix Ultimate Templates you can go for it, but not Helix3.
Helix3 has too many problems.
For example: PHP8 support is missing, not possible to use J4.1 and Helix3 with PHP8 without editing files by your self.
What a normal Customer also want notice, is the missing accessibility compliance.
WCAG, ADA or BITV "german regulation"
For example: Blind people can't use the megamenu, because the tab and arrow navigation is not working probably. "only first level"
Unfortunately, the support team and Paul put off that it takes time and can not be implemented immediately. "for around a year, since the support forum exists"

Already reported, because it is working for Paul, they told me, it is a problem on my side, a other customer confirmed the problem, but Paul insisted it is a problem on our side.
But Cloudflare also Blocks Questions, when you simply write a javascript for showing purpose, where the problem is.
"Quote: Yes, you are right, script tags are not supported. Would you please share a screencast of the whole scenerio"
Also tested with a VPN, from other countries it worked without any problems.
The CloudFlare Firewall is simply configured too strict and is falseblocking customers. :(

I agree Jens, there is very little point in purchasing templates that have no foreseeable future.
The Floox template has a blog layout that I treally like but unfortunately, being Helix 3, it is a none-starter...
All templates with Helix 3.0.2 are affected.
