Hi Henry,

in most cases problem is caused not by template itself, but extra plugin or module.

My suggestion is - in Global Configuration:

  1. System > Debug System : Yes
  2. Server Settings > Error Reporting > Maxium
  3. Save changes
  4. Preview site again, you should be able what file makes problem!

Helix Ultimate can work with PHP 7.0.x, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3 and 7.4 and PHP 8.0.x. Use PHP 7.x for your website.

Please do not use PHP older versions! We cannot support them anymore.

...install a backup

Akeeba Backup has high technical requirements, especially PHP version.
If you have an older version of PHP you cannot install or use that component anymore.
You have to find very old version of extension.
