The state drop down is not populated with state. The country and state configuration is correct. in this case united states and appropriate states. The database tables are populated correctly. Note the state drop down is not populated in all areas of the site, shopper registration maintenance and in shop configuration. I have visited numerous threads about similar issues and the recommendations such as disable enable jquery make no difference. switching to Joomla protostar template form rocket them makes no difference. firebug shows the dropdown does not have a list of entries. The country dropdown works just Fien and I can enable disable various countries. The title dropdown similar was unpopulated but I can add titles manually and works fine. Adding states manually does not.
Joomla 3.9.27
VirtueMart 3.8.9 10473
PHP 7.4.20
Live URL https://www.franz-gtkdesigns.com/
without a live url impossible to advise
adjust my original note to include url
the JSON return from the state query is corrupted by an error message
try https://www.franz-gtkdesigns.com/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&view=state&format=json&virtuemart_country_id=38
see the last line
<br />
<b>Deprecated</b>: Directive 'allow_url_include' is deprecated in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b><br />
you need to find and fix this or suppress the error so the return is not corrupted
