number of products show in a single page

Why reply to an old thread about VM2.0.12  - that itself is very old!

In current versions:
Default list items for categories is set as Frontend default items per list view in VM Configuration/Templates/Set the pagination sequence for the List Box   - and only if required can be overriden for each individual category.

The star grading can be hidden in the category page very simply with a standard template override, or even easier with a simple css override:

.vm-product-rating-container .ratingbox {
display:none;
}

No rocket science required and very little effort.
