Hello Team,

I have found a solution for me. I deleted the addon "call_to_action" from the page content and took the addon "button" for it. This worked. It seems that the addon was outdated.
Many greetings

Hi there!

Thanks for your query.

The Helix3 framework is not compatible with PHP 8.1 yet. Kindly, check with lower PHP version. We are working to bring higher PHP version soon, here is our plan:

Hello Team,
I have the same problem - when I switched from PHP 7.4 to PHP 8.0, PHP 8.1 or PHP 8.2 the site breaks. An error 404 is being ordered:
htmlspecialchars(): Argument #1 ($string) must be of type string, stdClass given

I use Kidzy with Helix3 Framewor

Will you help me?

Best Regards

Hi kostadin!

Thanks for contacting us and sorry for the inconvenience.

Have you checked the previously proposed solutions, already?

However, the Kidzy template is not compatible with PHP 8 yet, it will get the compatibility soon. You may try with PHP 7.4 for now. Here is our plan: https://www.joomshaper.com/blog/latest-php-compatibility-for-templates-and-extensions

And we are on the way of bringing the plan live. Here you will see some blogs about it:

I am having the same problem today since switching to PHP 8. I have the latest version of Helix3. Hasn't this issue been fixed yet?

I have the same problem. My client is getting nervous, because of the warning in red. I told him 'its a matter of time'. Please can this issue be fixed soon.

I don't have a 'call-to-action' on my page. The problem still has to be in PageBuilder. Because on other pages not build with PB, there is no problem with php 8.2

The error refers to:
com_sppagebuilder/parser/addon-parser.php

but you allready knew that :-)
