Frontend Article Form Redirect Issue With Helix-based Templates

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
