Did you check previous version of Helix?

I have the same site on a different location which is still on Joomla 5.3.4, Helix Ultimate 2.1.3 and SP Page Builder Pro 6.0.0. In this same site the login works as expected.

Can you share the login credentials for the comparison?

I can't share the login of this other site. I'm curious if you can reproduce this problem yourselves. Could you enable the "Coming soon" feature on your own site and then log in?

Can you share screencast video?

Please check now. We will fix it next update.

I see that logging in to the frontend is working again now. When will the next Helix Ultimate update be released?

We will try to release it by next week. Thank you.

Thank you!

You are most welcome :)

There was problem that is why we have updated the code.

All users were previously able to log in, which wasn’t ideal. When a site owner enables Coming Soon or Offline Mode, the purpose is to prevent regular users from accessing the website while it’s offline or under construction. However, this functionality didn’t work as intended.

We’ve updated the code to fix this issue. If you prefer to keep the previous behavior, you can use the following code in the coming soon section of your index.php file.

Previous code

https://prnt.sc/9HNV7Ce3-Ur1

if (!$requestFromIframe) 
{
    $user = Factory::getUser();

    if (!\is_null($this->params->get('comingsoon', null)) && $user->get('id') === 0)
    {
        header("Location: " . Route::_(Uri::root(true) . "/index.php?templateStyle={$template->id}&tmpl=comingsoon", false));
        exit();
    }
}

New code

if (!$requestFromIframe) 
{
    $user = Factory::getUser();

    if (!\is_null($this->params->get('comingsoon', null)) && !$user->authorise('core.admin'))
    {
        header("Location: " . Route::_(Uri::root(true) . "/index.php?templateStyle={$template->id}&tmpl=comingsoon", false));
        exit();
    }
}

I prefer not to edit Helix Ultimate's index.php file because then you have to do it/pay attention to it every time you update it.

I use the coming soon page when building a website. Clients can log in as soon as I provide their login details to view the progress. They're not supposed to be able to edit the website at that point. They can only visit it as if they were a visitor. How can I still achieve this in the latest version of Helix Ultimate without modifying the index.php file?

We have tried to follow the Joomla doc core and there is no rules that you have mentioned.

You have to use this code or you have to use our latest build.

-Thanks

You say that it was previously possible for all users to log in. I understand that this is undesirable in some situations.

But with the way I've been using the coming soon page so far, the client is given access to visit the website during its construction. If you want the coming soon page in Helix Ultimate this way, then for me the coming soon page has become useless, and I think it's also useless for others. I think it would be better if Helix Ultimate added a second option to the "Enable login" section like: "Also login for registered users".

For now, I've disabled the "Enable Coming Soon" feature. And in Joomla, under [System] > [Global Configuration], I've set "Site Offline" to "Yes." I've also set a custom "Custom Message" and an "Offline Image" as background. If I use these standard Joomla options, I can give the client a login to view the website during its initial launch. It's not as pretty as Helix Ultimate's coming soon page because it's missing the logo and countdown clock, but at least it works.

What I don't quite understand is that if this Joomla Core solution works, why would Helix Ultimate deviate from it?
