We are happy to introduce Greenery – our latest Joomla template for Solidres, it is the 9th Joomla template in our Joomla template family. Solidres users now have more choice for their Solidres website. Like the previous 8 Joomla templates, Greenery has full support for Solidres and latest Joomla version, it has 04 different color scheme and works well in various devices from desktop to tablet and mobile. Subscribers can also download template quickstart packages (there are separated quickstart packages for BUNDLE and HUB subscribers) for quick deployment. Active subscribers are now able to download new template from our Download section.

Every Solidres template we have shipped — Emerald, Greenery, Infinity, and the older Adora, Bluebee, Luxuria, Orient, Revive and the rest — is built on Helix Ultimate. That was a reasonable decision at the time, and it came with a bill you have been paying ever since: a template that cannot render without its companion system plugin, a page grid stored as a drag-and-drop JSON blob, SCSS compiled on every request, and a header, nav and footer whose markup does not live in the template at all — it lives inside the plugin, where you cannot read it, let alone override it.

Today that changes. Lumina is a new Joomla 6 template for Solidres, written from nothing, with no framework underneath it. It is aimed squarely at boutique and independent properties — one beautiful hotel, or a small collection — and it is built around the one journey that matters on a hospitality site: search, choose a room, book.

As you all know, we develop Solidres as well as Joomla templates,  we also encourage other template developers to create Joomla template for Solidres because we believe that will benefit Solidres’s users. We’ve had a great working relationship with our friends at IceTheme and the result is IT TheLodge 3, more details can be found here and you can see it in action here.

Together with our own Joomla templates, now Solidres’s users have more choice for your project. Enjoy!

Joomla 4, the next big thing, has reached the BETA 2 version recently. We are working very hard to make sure that Solidres and Joomla 4 is continuing to be the great combination like we were with Joomla 3, or even greater.

One of the Joomla 4 biggest features is the adoption of Bootstrap 4, we hope it can end the Bootstrap version chaos at this moment when we have to support Bootstrap 2, 3 and 4 at the same time. Supporting multiple Bootstrap versions is a nightmare for developers like us, we made a lot of progress but it is never perfect.
