Is Helix Ultimate 2.0.18 Template compatible with Joomla 5 and PHP 8.2

Asked by Murugappan Ramanathan 2 years ago Last activity 2 years ago

Hi,

Please see the screencap below which show the details for Helix Ultimate template 2.0.18:

Please see the screencap below for downloading the template:

Based on the above, I am confused. The details states Joomla 5, 4 and 3(too?) compatible whereas the download states the template is for Joomla 4.

Action for Joomashaper:
Appreciate your professional explanation on which is the truth statement. Thank you

What's wrong with your templates? How can i get the older versions of the template?

  1. Quickstart is not just a template, it contain Joomla as well.
  2. Switch to PHP 8.1 and try to install QS again, then update what you have, and switch to PHP 8.2
  3. Helix Ultimate 2.0.18 work in PHP 8.2, and have seen 50+ sites on it.
  4. Installer in QS is from Joomla itself, it wasn't made by us.
  5. It would be easier to install raw Joomla 4.4 or 5.0 then install what you really need, then deleting demo items, modules, and pages.

Here is Helix QS 2.0.15 from Oct 2023 >> https://ufile.io/m75lmqee (if this may help somehow)

Hi Paul,

Thank you for the link. I am going to try the raw install. This is my installation steps:

  1. Install Joomla 4
  2. Install Helix Ultimate template only
  3. Should i install the plugin as well?

Please advise.

Template package on our site contains template+plugin. It means all you need to create a site.

Later just install SPPB Pro, Akeeba Backup, SEO extension and whatever more you need.

Then what is the purpose for the plugin file that is provided for download?
