Article Template

Hi Art,

Thanks for reaching out.

What you're seeing usually means the link on your Article Index Page is sending visitors to Joomla's default single-article view rather than to your Article Detail Page. That happens when the link uses the "Article Link" field source (or Joomla's standard Read More), because Joomla then routes the request through its own com_content view, which your site template (shaper_helix3) renders — bypassing the detail page you built.

To connect the two pages properly:

1. Open your Article Index Page in SP Page Builder.
2. Select the addon you're using as the link — for example the Dynamic Text addon with Title as the Field Source, or your Read More button.
3. In the addon's General Settings, scroll down to the Link section.
4. Switch to the Page tab and select your Article Detail Page from the list.
5. Save & Close, then clear your Joomla cache and recheck the front end.

A few things worth confirming as well:

• The detail page was created through Pages → + Add → New Article Page → Detail, not as a regular page.
• You're running the latest SP Page Builder Pro version.
• There's no menu item of type Articles → Single Article or Category Blog pointing at the same articles — that Itemid can take priority and force the default layout, along with its own assigned template style.

If the issue persists after this, please share your site URL and temporary Super User credentials in the Hidden Content field below and we'll check the configuration for you.

Best regards
