Hello Support Team,
I am experiencing a consistent issue with frontend article creation redirects when using Helix Ultimate–based templates.
Problem description
When creating a menu item of type Articles → Create Article and configuring:
a specific menu item for Cancel redirect
a specific category redirect after Save
the redirects do not work correctly with Helix templates.
Actual behavior
Clicking Save after creating an article redirects to the homepage
Clicking Cancel also redirects to the homepage
The configured return/redirect menu items are ignored
Expected behavior
Save should redirect to the selected category or menu item
Cancel should redirect to the configured menu item
Important notes
The exact same menu item configuration works correctly with the default Joomla template (Cassiopeia).
The issue occurs with more than one Helix-based template, not just a single template.
This strongly suggests a Helix template override or JavaScript handling issue related to com_content frontend article form.
No custom code modifications were made on my side.
Environment
Joomla: (please insert version)
Helix Ultimate: (please insert version)
PHP: (please insert version)
Issue reproduced on multiple Helix templates
Suspected cause
Most likely:
a template override of com_content frontend form missing or altering the return parameter
or JavaScript intercepting Save/Cancel actions and redirecting to /
Request
Could you please:
Confirm whether this is a known issue with Helix Ultimate
Advise which override or file is responsible
Provide a fix or recommended workaround
If needed, I can provide:
screenshots
menu item configuration
override files
Thank you in advance.
p.s. I go to /templates/shaper_helixultimate/html/com_content/form/edit.php, and rename edit.php to edit-off.php. Now redirect is correct like I set up in my menu. Please tell I am done right thing? Fix it in new version, it is old problem!!!
Best regards
