Update From Joomla 5 To 6
Dina Abramson
I am trying to upgrade the site at https://tomkenyon.ca/ but when I check the extensions I see the following showing Potential Upgrade Issues. System - SP Page Builder Lite Updater System - SP PageBuilder System - SP Page Builder Pro Updater System - Helix3 Framework
I cannot disable the Behaviour - Backward Compatibility' Plugin as it breaks the site.
All of SPPB and Helix is up to date. What should I be doing to upgrade?
Thanks

Accepted AnswerExtra tips!
If on your client website you have installed both Helix3 and Helix Ultimate, and you really use only HU, uninstall Helix3 totally (template and helix3 plugins). Less mess = better for Joomla!
After all you should have only one Joomla installer message that you can ignore. No worries.
Joomla 5 is supported till Sep 2026, it means you have at least 5 months, no rush!

Accepted AnswerHi Dina,
Thanks for reaching out.
The SP Page Builder Pro latest version is compatible with Joomla 6, but the Helix3 template is not compatible yet. Sorry about that.
Best regards,

Accepted AnswerHi Dina,
Template(s) based on Helix3 will NOT work in Joomla 6 today or tomorrow. As I wrote in different topic today, Helix3 update for J6 is planned for April 2026.
About 2nd question:
- System - SP Page Builder Lite Updater System - uninstall that plugin, is NOT needed if you have PRO.
- SP PageBuilder System - SP Page Builder Pro Updater - ignore Joomla warning if you have current version installed. Yes, we informed about that in documenation, but who reads that :/
