General Questions / No more sales after URL change...
Last post by ThijsE6 - November 10, 2025, 11:22:54 AMHi all,
I'm currently managing a VirtueMart webshop at https://beterpet.nl/
and have encountered two important issues that I hope someone can help me with.
Drop in visibility and sales after URL structure change
Recently, the structure of our product URLs had to be changed for technical and performance reasons. All product URLs now include /webshop/. This change was necessary to fix a bandwidth issue previously, all products were loading on the homepage, which caused performance and indexing problems.
After this change, many product URLs indexed by Google became invalid, resulting in broken links and products no longer showing in Google Shopping. We've since:
Created a new sitemap and submitted it in Google Search Console
Re-uploaded the product feed to Google Merchant Center
Confirmed that products are being reindexed and URLs now include /webshop/
However, sales have dropped sharply, and product visibility remains lower than before. I'm unsure whether this is due to reindexing delays, SEO issues, or a configuration problem in VirtueMart. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Thijs

General Questions / Re: VirtueMart 4.4.x – Checkou...
Last post by psm - November 09, 2025, 14:31:10 PMHello everyone,
I'd like to summarize my issue again, because my previous post was probably too long and unclear.
Problem
When I click anything that should trigger AJAX on checkout (like "Same as billing", "TOS", or quantity update), the whole checkout page reloads instead of updating only the necessary DOM part.
No JS errors in console.
Same issue both on localhost (XAMPP, PHP 8.2.12) and live hosting.
Environment
Joomla 4.4.9
VirtueMart 4.4.9 – 4.4.11 (tested)
Template: Cassiopeia (also tried default VM template)
PHP 8.2.12, MariaDB 10.4.32
Settings (screenshots below)
✅ Joomla SEO – SEF + URL Rewriting enabled
✅ VM Template – Fancybox, jQuery, Ajax for product/category = ON
✅ VM Checkout – One Page Checkout + Ajax for OPC = ON
(see screenshots below for full setup)
Tried already
Switched template (Cassiopeia / default VM
Clean Joomla + VM install – same result
Disabled cache and all extra plugins
Question
Is there any known issue with AJAX in VirtueMart 4.4.x + Joomla 4.4.9?
Could it be related to vm2front.js or jquery.vmtrigger.js not firing correctly?
Any advice or workaround would be appreciated 🙏

Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Re: Checkout stuck issue
Last post by ViPeS - November 07, 2025, 18:12:13 PMQuote from: fatelettronica on November 07, 2025, 17:20:01 PMI tried the latest version 4.6.2, but nothing changed. I still see that the cart doesn't work.What VirtuePlanet template are you using?
I see that I can't change the product quantity.
I can't edit the Default.php file to add a string because the file is a Virtuplanet override.
I have VP Neoteric 2.4 and VM 4.6.2 11221, Joomla 5.4.0.
The cart is working.
But the VP Prime Mini Cart is used.

Last post by fatelettronica - November 07, 2025, 17:20:01 PMHi,
I tried the latest version 4.6.2, but nothing changed. I still see that the cart doesn't work.
I see that I can't change the product quantity.
I read the blog and tried enabling "Add Token to Cart," but it doesn't work.
Disabling "Use current shop template overrides" is horrible.
I can't edit the Default.php file to add a string because the file is a Virtuplanet override.
I'm still using 4.4.0.

General Questions / VirtueMart 4.4.x – Checkout "S...
Last post by psm - November 06, 2025, 21:51:38 PMHi everyone,
I'm running Joomla 4.4.9 with VirtueMart 4.4.x on localhost (XAMPP).
I'm trying to make the checkout work correctly — especially the "Same as Billing" checkbox. Now when I click on "Same as Billing" checkbox then whole form is cleared, because whole page is loaded.
Here's what happens:
When I click "Same as Billing", the POST request
cart.html?tmpl=component&task=checkout&redirect=0 is sent correctly (200 OK).
However, no subsequent GET request to
index.php?option=com_virtuemart&nosef=1&view=cart&task=viewJS&format=json
is made — so the page never updates dynamically.
On the official VirtueMart demo site, this GET request is always triggered right after the POST.
What I've already checked:
SEF URLs and URL Rewriting are enabled in Joomla.
.htaccess and RewriteBase are configured properly (SEF works).
Hidden menu with virtuemart and cart aliases exists.
"Use VirtueMart jQuery", "Use VirtueMart JavaScript", "Use Ajax to add/update cart", and "Enable Fancy Checkout" are all enabled.
The files vm2front.js and jquery.vmtrigger.js are missing from the Network tab (they do not load).
Plugin System – VirtueMart is enabled.
No caching or JS optimization plugins are active.
So far everything works (POST goes through), but since those JS files are not loaded, the second AJAX (GET viewJS) never happens.
Could this be caused by a missing script include, or a configuration issue in VirtueMart 4.4.x?
Any advice on what controls loading of vm2front.js and jquery.vmtrigger.js would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks a lot,
