Hi Klaus,
I cannot recommend ro update to Joomla 5 yet, because Helix Ultimate is not ready for Joomly 5 yet. I have run into some issues because I have updated too early (template editor not accessible anymore).
Joomshapersaid they plan to release updated version of SPPB and Helix Ultimate next week.
Best regards,
Ben
There are already several entries about this in the forum:
Helix is currently not suitable for Joomla 5. An update will follow. Currently the version 4.4.0 is sufficient. This still offers at least 12 months of updates.
Yes, that's exactly what I said.
the two posts have overlapped ;)
Hi Klaus.
- Read: https://www.joomshaper.com/forum/question/28199
- Helix Ultimate + SPPB for Joomla 5.0 will be published next week.
- If you don't have to - do not use Joomla 5.0.0 for production site, it's too fresh a version full of hidden bugs as usual, besides, too few extensions work properly with it - you'll only get stuck and annoyed, unnecessary problems. No worth it. Wait for Joomla 5.0.3 at least.
Well, I did exactly that as I did not want to start a new page and then having to update it, as soon as I finish. So far it Page builder is not doing too bad. I did run into a problem using the feature box, I do use the default Joomla template.

Big Problems with Page Builder 5.1.6
After installing the new version and Helix Ultimate Framework i cant open a page to edit:
The server returned a "500 - Whoops, looks like something went wrong."
Joomla 4.4.0
PHP 8.2
What must i do now?
Bonjour
Same problem.
In a folder on the server, I installed helixultimate_quickstart_j4_v2.0.16 and then updated SP Page Builder free to version 5.1.6.
I stay with joomla 4.4 and then upgraded to php 8.2 and got the same server error message "500 - Whoops, looks like something went wrong."
I should point out that no extensions or plugins were added.
Nothing serious since it's a "fake" site, but I'm wondering all the same.
Thanks
In that case stay with J4.4 by now.
On my demo site J5.0 + PHP 8.2 + SPPB + Helix works.
Just installed Helix Ultimate Framework Plug 2.0.17.
After this i get error Call to a member function get() on null on all websites.
I disabled the plugin, but no changes.
All my websites are not not reachable. a nightmare !!!!
Please help
Klaus,
- What Joomla 3.10 or Joomla 4.4 or Joomla 5 you had there?
- You updated only plugin or template as well?
- If you think it was a plugin "bug" recover that folder
plugins\system\helixultimatefrom backup.
In case of... here is older v2.0.16 version of Helix plugin:
Hi Paul,
Ihanks for quick answer.

Must i delete the 2.0.17 plugin before i install 2.0.16 ??
Delete the plugin. Install older version.
Everythin is fine.
Phew. Had a slight nervous crisis

Thanks, it works now.
Now i wait for the Updates for

@Klaus
- About SPPB plugins - you can ignore warings. They will work in Joomla 5.0
- About Smart Slider 3 - it's not our extension, so I cannot tell you.
Hi Paul,
The automatic answer are a nightmare:
Try to asking here:
Problem in Modul Social Share. The font-color of button "Facebook" is white on Blue background. Click on preview: Its fine. But in the frontend the font-color is black. So its invisible. See: https://www.polymersynthese.com/home/faqs/masterbatch What is wrong?
Forget it. Found it.
Other problem:
PB Modul article scroller.
Arrows back/next are to closed for mobil-devices.
I found only the "Arrow color" definition, but nothing else.
How can i change the gap between the arrows, or how i can hide them?
Example: https://www.polymersynthese.com/home/faqs/masterbatch
@media screen and (max-width: 580px) {
.sppb-articles-ticker-controller,
.sppb-articles-ticker-controller span {display: none; visibility: hidden;}
} Thanks Paul,
Put it under Modul article scroller/styles/custom css.
But no changes. Where i must put this code?
Regards
CSS is OK, but was not used by the browser.
Use it For example in: Template Options > Custom Code > Custom CSS
OR
in Custom CSS section that each Page has in Settings.
I put it in the template, but no changes.
Are you sure? I see it's working, test on Mobile Emulator as well.

remember that I used value 580px that is for most mobile devices (as you keep phone in hand), but not all. So you can consider using 680px to have wider range of devices. And yes, always check on two mobile browsers.
I didn't understand that this only applied to mobile devices. I always checked on the desktop. Thanks for your support
...are to closed for mobil-devices.
You asked about Mobile, and got the solution for mobile only :)
Hi Paul,
Little problem with PB modul "Image carousel"
My pics for the carousel are 282x180px Dimension (1.57)
In Google Page speed insights i go the message "wrong dimension" for all pics.
