Helix 3 and PHP 8

Hi,

About PHP 8.0.x support I can ask next week. Do we talk about raw Helix3 template or template based on it (if yes, what name)?

But in general, you should consider changing the template soon, we had Helix Ultimate since 2020.
Helix3 is old theme, with limited support.

Just raw Helix3 template. I guess I can use Ultimate if I have to - I have a lot of sites that use helix 3 though, and Ultimate isn't as user friendly.

This is a matter of habit, but as seriously as possible, how often do you change settings in a template? Once a year, once a month or every day?

p.s.

Remind me about Helix3 Question on Monday, I should know something more.

Hopefully, not more than every 2 or 3 years - but I have 95 sites that I would have to switch over to Helix Ulimate eventually, and I just keep having problems with that template. I just tried to use it on a site and got this error: Class "HelixUltimateFeatureAccount" not found - very frustrating.

About error, create new topic, let's not mix two different topics here.

Here only Helix3.

Hello Paul, it's been 4 weeks. Is there already a statement when Helix 3 will work with PHP 8?

I also need to use Newsberg on PHP 8, would appreciate a timeline for when that might be possible given 7.4 is already deprecated.

fully understand your concerns, unfortunately I can't help you on the forum, we both have to wait for the new version of the template.

Raw Helix3 template fully work with PHP 8.0x and PHP 8.1 as I remember.
