Patch Request For Helix Ultimate 2.1.3 On Joomla 3.10
Paolo Bianchi
Would it be possible to get a patch since a direct upgrade from 2.1.3 to 2.2.7 isn't possible? Please don't reply "Update Joomla!", because the reasons are obviously to keep one or more sites secure that the client doesn't want to pay to redo or update (due to the complexity of the upgrade, the times are similar, but I have to make them happen).

Accepted AnswerCiao Paolo,
I will ask and let you know, okay.
In meantime please tell me (important):
- Do you have installed any firewall component ? If yes, which one.
- Do you have Joomla 3.10.12 (or maybe later version, becuase there were also paid security updates after 2023 till 2025, it was called 3.10.15 eLTS, elts.joomla.org).
- Do you have extra security rules in .htaccess file, other than the default ones from Joomla 3 ?

Accepted AnswerThere is no longer any option to register on https://elts.joomla.org/, nor is it possible to purchase support licenses anymore
Paolo Bianchi
Accepted Answer- Yes, I have HTProtect on all my website, and works very very well as Firewall.
- Joomla 3.10.12 (on few sites)
- The extra security rules in .htaccess file are written by HTProtect, so as Backend access protection, Upload folder hardening and many other features.

Accepted AnswerBut it can downloaded from GitHub : https://github.com/nettstudio/joomla-3-elts/tree/main
It means that you can have Joomla 3.10.15 eLTS (for free)
