Accepted Answeris it better to implement child theme
Helix does not have this option. You can only create a copy of the template, not a child template. However, if you do not need to make global changes to index.php, you should not resort to this option, as your copy will not receive updates.
Simply create a custom.css file and write your code there, overriding the template styles.
it does. i don't know why and how but it does :-)
Going back to this, it could have happened for only two reasons:
- Evil Voodoo witchcraft.
- A syntax error on your part. Check all your CSS and make sure there are no mistakes, missing brackets, or similar issues.
In the case of CSS, restoring a backup is unnecessary. If something went wrong due to your CSS, simply delete it.

Accepted AnswerHi.
Add this code to custom.css file and set max-width value as you like
.article-details div[itemprop="articleBody"] {
max-width: 785px; /* change to your own value*/
}

Thank you for reaching out to our technical support forum. I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you’re experiencing. Rest assured, I will look into this issue for you and work to resolve it as quickly as possible.
You can follow Pavel's suggestion. I have modified his Custom CSS a little. Please use this CSS to
Template Options -> Custom Code -> Custom CSS
.article-details div[itemprop="articleBody"] {
max-width: 1320px !important;
}Best regards

Accepted AnswerThis couldn’t have broken what you’re talking about. Your issue was most likely related to the Joomla update, not this code.
