If he had been rich, he would have helped her.
This happens more frequently with a stative verb in the if-clause.

1. If he were rich, he would have helped her.
2. If he had been rich, he would have helped her.
2. If he had been rich (then), he would have helped her (then).
1. If he were rich (at any time), he would have helped her (then).
i think the correct form should be `` If he were rich (at any time), he would help her (then).``
am i missing somnething?
Yes. 'Then' is past but 'would help' is present/future.
