How to change Helix Ultimate component to SP Page Builder page?

Asked by Amy 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hello, This is my first website project so I am still learning as I go.

From what I learned so far is that SP Page Builder pages are displayed on my website in the "component" section of the layout I make in Helix Ultimate.

However I do not know how to change what page is displayed in the component section. I have made a new page with SP Page Builder with its own header and menu to be used since I disabled the Helix Ultimate header and menu.

I therefore would like to set this new page as my homepage for my website, but I do not know how to change the component from the demo page to my new SP Page Builder Page.

Can someone please show me where I go to change what pages are displayed in the component section of Helix Ultimate?

Thank you.

I found I can change the page via the menu section of Joomla but I am having another issue now.

Some images on the website stretch and don't look right like they do when I make the page in SP Page Builder.

Here is my page in SP Page Builder, notice the character on the right.

But when I insert the page into my website, the image becomes stretched and the menu buttons squash together and change text colour.

Can I get some help as to why this is happening please and how to fix it?

Hi Amy,

Sorry for the delay.
I need to see URL to share thoughts and tips with You.
Probably all can be fixed fast as always.

BTW

That anime gril on the right side you added inside Image addon or as backgroung image?

Hi, the anime character was added as an image addon, I downscaled the image in SP Page Builder as it was too latge when uploaded but recently I made the image smaller on my computer and uploaded a smaller version and now it does not stretch so I assume the stretching is when the original image is large and I scale it down within Page Builder.

I would like to know how to stop it happening in future though for other images I have to scale down.

Another problem I have is the menu buttons do not look the same on the live site as it does in SP Page Builder so I would like to know why this is the case and how to fix it, thanks!

As you can see the buttons on the live site are not spaced apart and are not the same colour as they are in SP Page Builder, I would like to fix this please, thank you.

In general try to use on the web images with similar size as they should be presented, not in PRINT size.

About navigation items... your site is in comming soon mode, so I don't see menu items to help in that topic.

I turned coming soon mode off now.
