Joomla 6 is two weeks away from being released.
Has JoomShaper tested templates with Joomla 6 to insure compatiblity?

Accepted AnswerIf I may to join...
We are working to make Helix Ultimate fully compatible with Joomla 6. Beta next week. As you know there are changes in source code. But before Joomla 6.0.0 premiere day raw Helix Ultimate for J6 should be ready.
But using Joomla 6.0.0 for production site ... hmm, I am not sure if it's the best idea, smart webmasters will wait for 6.0.1 at least. Using Joomla for so many years probably you noticed how many small fixes are added in CMS versions since new version premiere day.
In big short, we will be ready , but not all templates will get update before that day. It's a long process for developers who has so many templates in their portfolio, as we have. I hope you understand that aspect.

Accepted AnswerThanks Paul and Ofi.
Your right about waiting to upgrade. I ask because we have a site we have a significant investment in that is almost ready to go live. I'd like to upgrade before going live to avoid the headache when we're busy servicing clients.
It's great to see Joom Shaper on top of things, it makes me happy I changed from the competiton.

Accepted AnswerThank you so much for the kind words — we really appreciate your trust in JoomShaper!
Paul is absolutely right, waiting for the stable release before upgrading is the safest approach, especially for a site that’s about to go live. Once Joomla 6 is officially out, our products will be fully aligned with it, and we’ll provide any necessary updates right away. That way, you’ll be able to upgrade smoothly and focus on serving your clients without extra hassle.
We’re glad to hear you’re happy with your decision to move to JoomShaper. We’ll continue working hard to make sure your investment is well-supported long-term.

Accepted AnswerHello Brad Thompson,
Thank you for your question. Yes, we’re closely following the upcoming Joomla 6 release. Our team has already begun testing our templates and extensions, including Helix Ultimate and SP Page Builder, with Joomla 6 to ensure compatibility.
As Joomla 6 is still in its pre-release stage, we are continuously running checks and updating our products so that they will be ready once the stable version is officially released. If any adjustments are needed, we’ll release timely updates to maintain smooth compatibility.
SP Page Builder 6 is already compatible with Joomla 6 beta version. You can find the details here:
SP Page Builder 6 is ready for Joomla 6
You can rest assured that we are fully committed to supporting Joomla 6 and will provide guidance and updates as soon as the stable version is live.
Best regards
