allBusiness 6.1.3 is a major rebuild — the first release of this template under Cybersalt, and the first that is Joomla 6 native. The design is deliberately unchanged: your layout, colours, fonts and menu choices all carry over. What changed is everything underneath, so that allBusiness runs cleanly on current Joomla instead of depending on code Joomla has been retiring since version 4.

If you are already running allBusiness, install the template package over the top — your template settings are preserved and no re-configuration is needed.

Joomla 6 native

• allBusiness now installs and runs on Joomla 6.1 without Joomla's backward-compatibility plugin. That plugin exists to keep very old extension code working, and Joomla 6 requires it switched off before it will allow the upgrade at all. Templates that still need it leave you stuck: turning it off breaks the site, leaving it on blocks the upgrade. allBusiness now uses current Joomla APIs throughout and is tested with that plugin disabled.
• The template version matches the Joomla version it is built and tested against — this release is 6.1.3, built for Joomla 6.1.3.

Modern framework

• Rebuilt on Bootstrap 5. allBusiness previously shipped Bootstrap 2, which Joomla dropped years ago. The grid, buttons, forms and drop-downs now use the framework Joomla itself loads — removing a large duplicate stylesheet from every page and stopping the two versions fighting over your layout.
• Compatibility layer added for jQuery 3.7. Joomla 6 ships jQuery 3.7, which removed several functions templates of allBusiness's generation relied on. Without the new compatibility script the slideshow controls and parallax bands stop responding on Joomla 6 — the page looks right but nothing moves.
• Legacy code removed — old jQuery plugin loaders, Internet-Explorer compatibility code and unused stylesheets.
• Login and other pop-ups rebuilt on Joomla's current modal, and the log-in dialog is visible again — on the mixed stack it could open completely transparent, dimming the page around a box you could not see.
• The pop-up's close button shows an X again. It had been painting as a solid coloured block across the dialog's own title, or not appearing at all.
• Tooltips and popovers no longer render as invisible empty boxes.
• Page content sits where it should. Bootstrap 5 adds an inner gutter the original design did not expect, and because this template nests one container inside another it was inherited twice — shifting every page slightly to the right.

Security hardening

• Settings are now escaped before they are written into your page. Colours, sizes, image paths and text taken from the template's Options screen pass through dedicated escaping helpers — 274 places in the template's main file — instead of being printed raw as the original code did. These are administrator-only settings, so this is hardening rather than the closing of an exposed hole: it removes the class of problem where an unexpected character in a setting could break the page or put unintended markup into it.
• The template's main file can no longer be loaded directly. It was missing the standard Joomla guard that stops a template file being requested on its own, outside Joomla.

The template Options screen

• All 86 colour settings are real colour pickers with a live preview, instead of plain text boxes needing a hand-typed hex code.
• Every on/off setting is a native Joomla switch — 68 of them — replacing the old image-based toggles, so the Options screen matches the rest of your administrator and works on a phone or tablet.
• The version displays correctly. Extensions → Manage had been reporting an older version for this template regardless of the build installed.
• A new Favicon tab lets you select any image and have the template build every icon size browsers and devices ask for, with a crop tool for non-square images.
• Two headings that were meant to display in capitals now do. A find-and-replace in the original build had corrupted the styling rule behind them.
• The icons on the Options screen render again. They had been loaded from an outside address for an old icon set that no longer resolves, so the screen came up with blank squares where its icons should be.
• Tab and field labels tidied — several repeated the word “Settings” unnecessarily.

The header

• The header bar is solid, so its controls are visible. It had been rendering white while the account, register and search icons on it are also white — so they were effectively invisible until you scrolled far enough for the bar to darken.
• The account, register and search icons are one matched set, sized and aligned together rather than each at its own size on its own line.
• On wide screens the icon labels no longer overlap. Above about 1450 pixels the design shows a word beside each icon, and those words were running into the next control.
• A small gap now separates each icon from its label instead of the glyph and the word touching.
• Menu headings match the links beside them. A menu item used as a heading rather than a link was rendering smaller, in a different colour and at a different height from its neighbours.
• The menu button no longer appears to have a fourth bar. Bootstrap 5 underlines links by default where Bootstrap 2 did not, and the underline fell directly beneath the three-bar icon in the same colour — so it read as part of the icon. The same stray dash sat under the account, register and search icons.

Slideshow

• The previous and next arrows are there. They were switched off in the template's own settings, so the slideshow could only be advanced by waiting. They are on by default now, always visible rather than appearing on mouse-hover, and sized as a proper touch target.
• The slide dots sit along the bottom, in a row, instead of stacked in a vertical column pinned to the top-left corner of the slideshow.
• Slide images size correctly instead of overflowing or leaving gaps at some screen widths.

Phones and tablets

• A proper mobile header. The menu button sits beside the logo and opens an accordion menu below the header, where opening one section closes the others.
• The header no longer covers the slideshow. It sits above it, rather than floating over the top of the first slide and hiding its caption.
• The menu button is white on the dark header rather than a dark grey that barely showed against it.
• A utility row puts account, register, search and social controls together as properly sized touch targets.
• Sub-menus have one open/close control, not two, and its plus sits at the right-hand edge in line with the others.
• The page trail stays on a single line instead of wrapping over several and pushing the page content down.
• The search box is a usable size — a full-width panel under the header with a proper touch-sized field — and the search button shows a magnifying glass rather than a blank square.
• Sub-menus scroll instead of being cut off when a menu is longer than the screen, and the page can no longer be dragged sideways.
• The utility-row icons are actually visible. Several were being drawn in almost the same colour as the button they sit on — in the worst case invisible — and the plus that expands a sub-menu in the drawer was similarly faint against its own background.
• Two empty bands removed — a dark strip of header up to 200 pixels tall with nothing in it, and a further white gap of about 100 pixels under the page trail, left over from space the old design reserved for a search box.
• The page trail no longer collapses on a tablet, where its links could run off the right edge and take the whole page sideways with them.
• The footer menu links stay visible on a phone, the footer social icons sit centred, and the “back to top” control is a proper circle rather than a stretched oval.
• A dead “Follow Us” side tab has gone. It only responded to a mouse hover, so on a touch screen it could never be opened at all — it simply sat there, sometimes over the page text.
• Headings and module titles keep a margin from the screen edge instead of sitting flush against it.

Log-in and registration

• The account button opens the log-in dialog. The dialog is built from a module that had been left unpublished, so the button had nothing to open and did nothing at all when tapped.
• A Register control now appears beside it — it comes from that same dialog, so it was missing for the same reason.
• The “Sign in with a passkey” icon renders at normal size. Joomla 6 supplies that icon without a size, and because this template pre-dates that style of icon it expanded to fill the space, appearing as a large dark shape across the log-in area.
• A broken control beside the log-in button has gone. A stray drop-down arrow, left over from styling copied out of the header, submitted the log-in form with an empty password and dropped you on an error page — taking “forgot password”, “forgot username” and “register” out of reach with it.
• Registration fields fill the width on a phone. Email, name and company were rendering about a third of the screen wide with the rest of the row empty.

Icons, fonts and menus

• Font Awesome 6 replaces the Font Awesome 4 icon set, so icons render as sharp glyphs instead of blank squares.
• The social network set is up to date — X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, Vimeo, Pinterest and Discord.
• Drop-down menus no longer close before you can reach them. Moving the mouse from a heading down to its drop-down crossed a gap where neither was hovered.
• Menu modules placed in a sidebar render as a proper vertical list again. Bootstrap 5 redefines the list style those menus use as a horizontal row, so a menu in a left or right column came out as a strip of wrapped, jumbled links.
• Pagination arrows render correctly on article lists and blog layouts, and tall articles are no longer clipped to their title in the featured-article layout.
• The show/hide password control renders as an eye rather than a small dot.
• The details line under an article stays on the page. The author, category and published/updated dates could run off the right edge on a phone instead of wrapping.
• Sidebar menus with sub-pages expand and collapse. On a desktop they had been dumping every level as one long flat list, with no way to fold a section away.

Forms and search

• Search and text fields keep their proper height. Bootstrap 5 measures a field's box differently from Bootstrap 2, so fields sized by the original design lost their padding out of the declared height.
• The search field sits square in its row on full-size screens instead of riding high with empty space beneath it, and the button beside it stays flush against the field.
• The label above the search box no longer prints as tiny grey text — it is hidden properly, the way an accessible label should be.
• ⚠️ The site search now uses Joomla's Smart Search. allBusiness had been carrying Joomla 3's Search component, which Joomla removed from core years ago and which would have caused a fatal error the moment the backward-compatibility plugin was switched off. Your Search menu item keeps its label and position. One thing to do after installing: if you rely on site search, open Components → Smart Search in your administrator and run the indexer once, so the new search has content to find.

Housekeeping

• 5.7 MB of unused VirtueMart payment and shipping plugins removed. The install had been carrying eighteen of them — PayPal, Authorize.net, Skrill, Sofort, 2Checkout and more — left behind by an old migration. VirtueMart itself is not installed, so nothing could ever load them; they simply made the package larger and cluttered the extension list.
• Build artefacts and stray files that had been shipping inside the package have been removed, along with two unused leftover template styles that had been cluttering your Template Manager list.
• Font Awesome's stylesheet loaded twice on every page; it now loads once.
• The footer copyright year is current.
• The Quick Start installs Joomla 6.1.3 and, unlike the older Akeeba-based quick starts, lets you create your own administrator account during installation instead of shipping a shared password.
