Hello anamari,


To change the name virtuemart-store you have to change the menu item alias that points to your virtuemart Front page.


On joomla backend go to menus and pick up the the right menu...

I haven't got a menu item that points me to the "frontpage" og my VirtueMart store, so there is no alias to change. What should i do then, to remove the "virtuemart" part of this URL "/component/virtuemart/cart?Itemid=0"?

Thanks for any help

Yours sincerely

Hi Ihateit,

That menu item is very important as it creates the SEF for all the products ad categories... (and other VM related pages).
