I tested on Jooma 3 works without problems. I did it this way: YOUR_FRONT_END_TEMPLATE/html/com_hikashop/administrator/helpers/dropdown.override.php")* Hi, I think changing the line: Code: if((!HIKASHOP_J30 || (isset($app->input) && $app->input->get('Itemid', null) != null)) || hikashop_isClient('administrator')) { to: Code: if(!empty($app) && method_exists($app, 'getTemplate')) { in the file administrator/components/com_hikashop/helpers/helper.php will fix the problem without creating other issues thanks to the try/catch that was added on the next line after that condition was created when upgrading HikaShop for Joomla 3 support years ago. That way, we just make sure that $app JApplication is already loaded by Joomla and if it is, we call getTemplate, and if it fails in there (because the template is not yet known), the try/catch should prevent an error. I did some tests on my end and the change seems to work fine without creating issues. Can you test it on your end ? If it works for you too, we can include the change for the next version of HikaShop.

Please understand that we don't work during weekends. It has nothing to do with free support or not. It's just that it's only been 2 hours that I started working today and only came your your message half an hour ago.

If Jerome and Mohamed Thelji have also implemented this code in their apps, overrides no can be applied, so let them look at this thread. Unfortunately I can't test their Joomla 4 bug apps because I can't renew my subscriptions right now but if you provide a demo with Joomla 4 in the near future I will join as a tester because as we all know in 1 year support for Joomla 3 is ending and I think it is in all of our interests to keep the number of bugs to a minimum.
