Before making any changes, always create a full backup of your website — including both files and database. This ensures you can restore your site if anything goes wrong during the process.

Update Helix Ultimate to the Latest Version

Make sure you are using the latest version of Helix Ultimate before moving to Joomla 6.

• The most recent compatible version before Joomla 6 is v2.1.3.
• You can update Helix Ultimate by following the usual process.

Disable “Behaviour - Backward Compatibility” Plugin

Joomla 6 requires this plugin to be disabled for Helix Ultimate to function properly.

1. Go to System > Plugins.

2. Search for Behaviour - Backward Compatibility.

3. Unpublish or disable the plugin.

Verify Compatibility

Once Helix Ultimate is updated and the plugin disabled:

• Check your site’s frontend to ensure everything displays correctly.

• Verify that Helix Ultimate’s features (layout builder, menu, blog layout, etc.) work as expected.

• Clear your browser and Joomla cache.

Final Check

• Confirm your site is running Helix Ultimate v2.2.0.

• Ensure no error messages or layout issues appear.

• Optionally, check the browser console for any compatibility warnings.

Your Helix Ultimate template is now fully updated and compatible with Joomla 6.
