Helix ultimate registration override

Asked by Addington 10 months ago Last activity 10 months ago

Hi
I am trying to change the user registration process by adding a mandatory field and making the minimum password more complex (use special characters etc). I have changed them in /administrator/index.php?option=com_config&view=component&component=com_users but the changes are not feeding through to the registration form.
I wonder if this has something to do with the Helix ultimate template override?
I looked at the file /plugins/system/helixultimate/overrides/com_users/registration/default.php but nothing stood out.

I am using HU version 2.2.1 and Joomla version 5.3.1

Can you give me some pointers please?

Hi,

Maybe just delete/disable overrides from template, then Joomla will use orginal core code.

Start from renaming those two folders:

  • /templates/helix_ultimate/html/com_users/registration/
  • /plugins/system/helixultimate/overrides/com_users/registration/

just add "=" before its names, and recheck registration page view again.


BTW

About Joomla version, you should have J5.4.0 (Oct 2025), not 5.3.1 from May 2025.
