No Edit Template Styles After Update to Joomla 5.2.4

If you have already upgraded to Joomla 2.5.4 we strongly urge you not to edit the style of your template because there is a bug in the Checkbox field. If you edit it many parts of your website will disappear. We are waiting for answers from Joomla on this matter.

Predefined Header Enabled but No Selection Options After Joomla update

Hi,I am facing a critical issue after updating Joomla to 5.2.4. The Predefined Header option is enabled in the settings, but after the update, the header selection options are missing.
  • Before the update, I could see and select different predefined header styles (as shown in the first screenshot).
  • After the update, the selection options are completely gone (see the second screenshot).
  • My website now has no header at all, making it unusable.
  • I tested this on both a live site and a local installation, and the issue occurs in both cases.
  • I have tried clearing the cache and reapplying the settings, but nothing resolves the issue.
Please let me know how to fix this or if this is a known bug in Joomla 5.2.4.Looking forward to your urgent response.Best regards, Petar

The issue affects all Helix Ultimate templates after the Joomla 5.2.4 update.

Yes, we are aware of this, we have also given our opinions in the Joomshaper thread, reporting that a general error of the checkbox field. It is not a template problem, but apparently a bug or a change in Joomla.
Important: if you have already updated to Joomla 5.2.4 do not edit the template style, because these errors occur because the checkbox type fields do not save the configuration in the database, that is why the conditions of the PHP files do not find an answer to your questions and that is why it stops showing all those parts of the websites.
