virtuemart.cfg issue

[DanielIIC]

Hi,
Joomla! 3.8.8
VirtueMart 3.2.14

I wanted to display the VAT in my shop.
if i go to configuration -> pricing -> and tick the "Tax amount"    or any other setting then I get this message:

"Loaded virtuemart default configuration from file virtuemart.cfg"

and nothing in the frontend changes, but the box is ticked in the backend.
I had a look at this post
http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=128956.msg443485#msg443485
I do not understand the table part he is referring but I checked: the file "virtuemart.cfg"  is in the folder "httpdocs\administrator\components\com_virtuemart"
but it has not been changed since 2015. Changing the file manual also has no impact.

any idea what is going wrong here?

That message is standard when changing some configurations

It does not look like a .cfg or virtuemartconfigs table issue

and nothing in the frontend changes, but the box is ticked in the backend.

That may be because you have a template that is not base VM or that you have some other configuration that is at odds with this setting

ok, but why is it gibing me the loaded default notification?

any idea where a template would store this data?

@DanielIIC,
The problem is that some templates don't implement tax price display(or other prices).
You can try using protostar template, simply add ?template=protostar (or &template=protostar) to render it using the default template and check if your taxe is displayed.
