Bootstrap Version Conflict between Helix Ultimate and Joomla Core

Asked by mircea 1 year ago Last activity 3 weeks ago

Hello JoomShaper Team,

I am writing to report an issue regarding a Bootstrap version conflict on my website.

I am using the latest version of Joomla (which uses Bootstrap v5.3.x) along with your Helix Ultimate template framework. I've noticed that Helix Ultimate currently loads an older version of Bootstrap (v5.2.x).

This version mismatch is causing styling conflicts and layout issues, particularly with components and modules that rely on the latest Bootstrap 5.3 features provided by Joomla's core.

My question is: Are there any plans to update the Bootstrap version within Helix Ultimate to align with the one used in the latest Joomla release? If so, could you please provide an estimated timeline for this update?

Thank you for your great work on your products.

Best regards,
Mircea

You can replace those two files (FTP) >

  • templates\THEME-NAME\css\bootstrap.min.css
  • plugins\system\helixultimate\assets\css\bootstrap.min.css

using a new bootstrap.min.css taken from Joomla core itself or Bootstrap website (download)

and all should work. I made test on my own site and seems be OK.

Yes, in next Helix Ultimate we will update also that area. But I don't know when yet.

I reminded our developers that topic, and they promisied to take a look in next helix update (Oct'26).
The last ones were only about security.
