Helix Ultimate gone crazy URGENT

Asked by Matt Hunt 5 months ago Last activity 5 months ago

Suddenly the Helix Ultimate has gone nuts. To the best of our knowledge, no one was in the admin of the site when suddenly the template just seems to have stopped functioning, especially the header/menu. I've downloaded and reinstalled Helix 2.2.4 , SP Page builder, downgraded the php to 8.2 and 8.1, then brought it back to 8.3. All with no effect.

Please help as soon as possible

Apologies for the inconvenience.

Could you please allow me to take a full backup of your site (files and database) so I can investigate the issue locally and identify the root cause?

Hi Matt.

Sorry, but "Username and password do not match or you do not have an account yet." Check details!


On all my sites, I can use PHP 8.2, 8.3, and 8.4 without "crazyness" , so it must be single case.

I think I know why.

  1. This file „/templates/shaper_helixultimate/css/template.css” was locked by .htaccess file rule Header always set X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff" - please remove it and save changes.

  1. Please also check if nobody deleted content of template.css file. If that file is empty, please reinstall template or upload file using FTP tool. Also check file permissions, it should be 644.

Then it should be OK.

Hi Paul
I've comment out that line in the htaccess and verified that the template.css is still there and permissons are 644. I've also reset the password.

Thanks

It looks that there is something with your Joomla itself.

I only logged and went to Templates

Now using your crystal ball, how could that have gotten changed in the middle of the day? I was driving at the time and no one else that has access would touch the htaccess file?
