I have searched for this solution and all the related posts are very old and might not be in regards to VM2. Before I tweak my php file I just want to verify there is no simple box to uncheck that would solve this like everything else in Joomla.
I have played around with older versions of virtue mart and am still learning my way around VM2. I had the unlucky experience of having BOTH Xmap & Simple Image Gallery installed before installing and that has been a major hassle!
Any help?
