Joomla version 3.4.6
I have a shop page here showing categories
http://www.incahoot.info/index.php/online-shop
Click on a category to here
http://www.incahoot.info/index.php/online-shop/meats
Click on a sub category to here
http://www.incahoot.info/index.php/online-shop/meats/beef
Click to view products in sub category here
http://www.incahoot.info/index.php/online-shop/meats/beef/mince-beef
And whatever settings I try I cant get the products to show, any help and advice please, I've looked everywhere for an answer with no luck

well ... the mince is this cat-> http://www.incahoot.info/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&virtuemart_category_id=33
but your menu for beef - mince-beef is
http://www.incahoot.info/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=32&Itemid=1167
Again...thanks for your feedback
Yes to mince beef you go to the first categories page
is http://www.incahoot.info/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=virtuemart&productsublayout=0&showproducts=1&showcategory=1&Itemid=1167
Then you follow the link to Meats
http://www.incahoot.info/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=16&Itemid=1167
Which takes you to the Beef category
Clicking on the beef category you see the mince beef category
http://www.incahoot.info/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=32&Itemid=1167
Then clicking on that absolutely nothing shows, but there are two products set up under that caategory
Extra Lean Mince Beef
http://www.incahoot.info/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=1218&virtuemart_category_id=32&Itemid=1205
And Tender Mice BBeef
http://www.incahoot.info/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=productdetails&virtuemart_product_id=1211&virtuemart_category_id=33&Itemid=1167
But I cant get them to show up under the categories, does the information in the URL's give you any clues why not that you could help me with?
if i go
http://www.incahoot.info/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&virtuemart_category_id=33
the two products are there
if -> http://www.incahoot.info/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=category&virtuemart_category_id=33&Itemid=1167
nothing .. so it is your menu setup?
The selector "Show products" yes/no is inherited (wrongly I feel) to any sub cats under it .. so I assume on Beef you have 'no' set?
If this is necessary then try making hidden menus to the mince with the show prod set to yes
Hi thanks again for your advice
Can you tell me where it is I have Beef set to 'no' ? Do you mean somewhere in the Product or Category Settings in Virtuemart, once I know where you mean I can then change it and see if that sorts it
I also did not know I had any hidden menus, where would they be? and where would I set show product to "yes"?
Thanks again
no -- in your VM category menu you made for Beef
the idea for a hidden menu (used often and usefully in Joomla) is to try and solve the inherited param if that is the case
Hi got it sorted, thanks, you we right, changing the beef menu did it
