BUG: HTML/Hyperlinks Stripped From Copyright Field In Nexio Template

Hi Guys,

As developers, we alsways like to have a link in the copyright area back to our site but unfortunately some updates you've made is stripping out the html from the copyright area of the template - this has happened with a few updates recently - it would be great if you could get this fixed.

Environment:

Template: Nexio (v1.0.0)

Framework: Helix Ultimate 2.2.9

Joomla: 5.4.7

The Issue: When attempting to add a standard HTML hyperlink (<a href="/...">) to the copyright text via Template Options > Basic > Footer, the HTML is aggressively stripped out immediately upon saving.

The Cause: I tracked this down to the template's options.xml file. The copyright field is currently set to use filter="safehtml", which is stripping out valid anchor tags when saved in Joomla 5.

File Path: templates/nexio/options.xml Current Code (approx line 150):

XML <field name="copyright" helixgroup="footer" type="textarea" rows="6" cols="30" default="© {year} Your Company. Designed By JoomShaper" label="HELIX_ULTIMATE_COPYRIGHT" filter="safehtml" showon="enabled_copyright:1" /> The Solution: Changing the filter attribute from filter="safehtml" to filter="raw" completely resolves the issue and allows standard links to be saved.

Could you please update this to filter="raw" in the next release of the Nexio template (and check other recent templates that might share this options.xml setup)? It would save users from having to create a custom module override just to add a link to their footer.

Thank you!

Hi,

Thank you for the detailed report and for taking the time to investigate the root cause.

We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused. The behavior you described was related to the HTML filtering in the footer copyright field, and improvements have been included in Helix Ultimate 2.2.9.

Could you please recheck by adding the anchor tag again in Template Options → Basic → Footer → Copyright and saving the template? The issue should now be resolved in Helix Ultimate 2.2.9 without requiring any manual changes to the options.xml file.

If the problem still persists after re-saving the copyright text, please let us know and we will investigate further.

Thank you again for your feedback and for helping us improve the product.

Best regards
