Hi there,
I am operating a commercial news website based on the Gazette template.
I have posted a number of relevant support requests for more than a year now that had to do with either Joomla upgrades, PHP upgrades or Helix upgrades. Most of the times, my requests were handled with direct access of your support team to my backend, but unfortunately, this is not a viable strategy any more. That is why I am not posting my website link here.
Now, I am at Joomle 4.1.5 because no matter what I try, performing an update to the latest secure Joomla version breaks template-specific add-ons. I haven't looked for yet another custom fix. Same goes for Helix where I haven't been able to get past version 2.0.6.
I post this question in order to get a straight answer for something I have been asking for almost a year, now. The template's latest official update was 2.0.1 on November 2021. That's almost 18 months ago.
Is your team going to update the template to be compatible with the latest Joomla and Helix versions? Or is it a "dead" product for you?
Please don't give me the answer that it is in your plans to do so. I need a strict timeframe that is to be kept. After all, as I said earlier, I am operating a commercial installation and I have to make decisions regarding security and business continuity.
I have been a long time customer and I would like to keep recommending and using your products. But I need a straight, honorable answer. After all this time, I think that this is the least you can do.
Waiting for your reply.
Best regards,
