I have searched these forums for an answer and not managing to make it happen
Im using VM 3.2.14 and a template call jl_teatree_free
I have tried to get 4 cateories in a row in my shop and the it just wont change from3. Ive tried the admin settings in the VM config as well as changing this:
$categories_per_row = !empty($viewData['categories_per_row'])? $viewData['categories_per_row']:VmConfig::get ( 'categories_per_row', 4 );
if(empty($categories_per_row)) $categories_per_row = 4;
Neither changes a thing, ive cleared cache and no change, Ive checked in chrome and firefox
Any advise would be most welcome as the shop is still in localhost and the lone category below all others looks daft
Try with Protostar in case it is a template issue.
also check your setting in the cat and in the menu if u have one
sorry which setting in the cat and menu?
no change in protostar
Look at Default number of categories in a row settings under the settings tab for your Joomla menu item.
Cat view is on the Virtuemart category view settings tab on each category editor/manager but that is for products within a category.
thanks - have done that with no effect, im baffled
here is a screenshot
Doesn't help -- need a live url
perhaps ill make it live and post - currently on localhost.
prob something like css over riding or missing
You have a link Shop in your main navigation.
Did you check the settings in the second tab of the menu item settings?
Stefan sorry but what am i looking for?
The link should be a reference to "virtuemart category layout", showing the highest category level.
In the second tab you see a setting for categories per row.
sorry is this what you mean?
no - in your shop home menu - the root VM menu -- visible or hidden .. doesn't matter
thank you for your responses - mine looks somewhat different to yours.
Quotethe root VM menu
!!!!
my sincere apologies, im sure you have concluded that you are dealing with an idiot - you aren't wrong. Ill try figure out how to see that root VM. thank you and sorry for the frustration
found it and changed it with no effect even after cleared chache
Managed to fix it - I really cant thank you enough. Thank goodness for people like you that help the rest of us. Many thanks!
One last question if you dont mind. Everything is looking great but now I have products under my categories - can i change this? I just want the 4 category images on that page
all fixed tx
No, I was talking about a created menu item with the name shop.
Joomla Menu - Menus - Manage
There you find you main menu.
Inside somewhere is a menu item "Shop".
That one has settings.
It's 2020 and problem has not fixed yet! I set both Virtuemart global setting and root menu category layout but still 3 cols in a row ???
It was fixed already in 2018.

I removed override template and see that problem fixed. thank you
