I've been testing VM on a staging server and decided to move it to production. The WEIRDEST thing happened.

SPECIFIC tabs in the admin are completely hosed:
- Tabs don't appear to select sections.
- Fancybox dropdowns don't work
- States don't pre-populate when country is selected

Things I've tried:
- ADMIN CONFLICT RESOLVE listed at: https://dev.virtuemart.net/projects/virtuemart/wiki/General_JS-Problems_with_templates_and_jQuery
- Rolled back to an older build
- Installed sample products
- Ensured that states were published, underneath the country I selected
- Compared staging and production for jQuery duplicates.

I'm totally stumped and frustrated. This is RIDICULOUS!

Here's what the live site looks like. You can see the tabs aren't there and the currency dropdown doesn't work the same.

However, VM Configuration works just fine.

Its normally a JS error -- often ( esp. on Chrome browsers) the old JS is cached

make sure all browser caches are cleared or start a new fresh browser

You can also try ftp'ing all the com_virtuemart admin folder back to the server from an expanded installer or your local copy if your sure its complete

have seen incomplete transfers before

I should have mentioned that I'm using Firefox and have cleared the cache and restarted my PC several times.

I uninstalled and reinstalled from https://dev.virtuemart.net/attachments/download/1144/com_virtuemart.3.4.2.9966_package_or_extract.zip

Then I manually copied all files from \com_virtuemart.3.4.2.9966\administrator\components\com_virtuemart
to  /httpdocs/administrator/components/com_virtuemart

Now my admin is completely blank. (White screen)

Reinstalled again, and tested it on IE. Same issue, so this isn't a browser cache problem.

As stated, some VM admin pages work PERFECTLY (Config and Tools) but all four other sections are hosed.

YOu have certainly a Joomla plugin loading another jQuery, try to disable some system plugins that you suspect(jquery easy, slideshows  for eg.).
Some template framework load admin javascript and can break too.

Did you check, if your hoster has some Content Security Policy enabled that might stop scripts from loading?

Please use only stable versions with even numbers for your live shop! Use Alpha versions only if you know what risk you are taking.

Thank you everyone for your replies; I went in and disabled every single extension in Joomla.

The conflict was Simple Image Gallery Pro v3.5.0. -When I upgraded to v3.6.1, everything works!

Thanks again!

ouch .. and if u search on here for "Simple Image Gallery Pro" you will see it has had a long and illustrious history of breaking the VM admin since at least 2013 can u believe!
