Visibility of “Published / Default” icons in product variants

Hello,

Yes, we're aware of it and it's already fixed.

In 6.6.0, the status icon which only displays a state, without being clickable, became a span instead of a link which did nothing, so that screen readers stop announcing a link to their users. The rules of our backend CSS which give those icons their green or red color only matched the link, so on Joomla 5 and 6 the icon took the white text of the badge of the Joomla backend template instead, and became almost invisible on the light background. It affects the Published column of the listings and the variants list of the product edition page.

The fix has been added to the 6.6.0 package since then, so you don't need to change anything yourself: download HikaShop again from your member area and install it over your website, and the icons will be colored again.

You can check which build you have at the top of the Configuration page of HikaShop: it displays the version followed by the build number between brackets, like [2609061518], which reads as the date the package was built, year, month, day, hour and minute. Any build from September 4th 2026 onwards has the fix.

Hello,

That build does contain the fix, but the fix is only in a CSS file, which is installed in the media folder of Joomla, separately from the rest of HikaShop. And the problem you reported came from a change in a PHP file, so seeing it appear after the update doesn't tell us that the CSS file was updated too. Two checks:

1. In the Configuration menu of HikaShop, Display tab, click on the pencil next to the "Back-end CSS File" setting. First, make sure it is set to "default". Also, the edit button displays the file as it is on your server. Search for the text span.icon-publish in it. If it is not there, add these two rules at the end and save:

#hikashop_main_content span.icon-unpublish {
	color: var(--danger);
}
#hikashop_main_content span.icon-publish {
	color: var(--success);
}
