I changed the category thumbnail and it broke my front end category view and i can't edit that category or make new ones any more.
When changing the thumbnail i used the replace image upload action.
I am using virtuemart 3.0.12 and joomla 3.4.8 , all my exstensions are up to date.
I'm gonna guess this is a bug, i have a older backup that still works but i would like to fix this so I don't break it again.
The back end looks like this https://snag.gy/3CXBEn.jpg
And the category view looks like this https://snag.gy/9quTpW.jpg

But your Joomla and VirtueMart are not up to date. Current is Joomla 3.5.1 and VirtueMart 3.0.16 - and VM3.0.17 is available for experienced users.
I have never heard of anyone breaking a site simply by replacing an image, but as Ghost intimates, turn on debugging to see what is going on. Could be a JavaScript problem.
this is an excellent tool if logs are hard to find

After strugeling to get some custom plugins working I'm not updating even if 3.0.12 is SkyNet incarnet :)
No logs are created, no errors reported.
Guess I'm going back to the backup, time to create 50 products from scratch, again.
logs are always written some where!
did u try the fatal error detect plugin?
Finaly i got the error log
Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 58982384 bytes) in file: /home/underwat/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/helpers/img2thumb.php line: 111
I'm guessing that i created a memory leak by uploadin a corupted image or something...
Any idea how to fix it?
What is the file size of the image you uploaded?

What is the file size of the image you uploaded?
5.4 MB, I removed it from the server after i noticed the problem but my front and back end still are broken.
there is no purpose in having display images of that size in ANY web site
What about using PHPmyAdmin to change the virtuemart_media_id for the category in question to a media_ID that you know is okay? Then, I think, you might be able to get back into frontend and backend.
Thanks for mentioning the error detecting plugin GJC, I have found it very useful.
