General Questions / Re: No more sales after URL ch...
Last post by ThijsE6 - November 11, 2025, 18:55:28 PMHi,
Thanks for your response. The products are divided into categories such as "men/men-winter-caps/classic-men-winter-caps" and "women/women-caps/...". Even though these were on the first level, I was still able to add "/webshop" in front of /women and /men using a 301 redirect. This worked, and the products have now been approved by Google Merchant Center.
I'm also in contact with Google, and they advised me to give it about a week so all changes can be properly processed.
I'll keep you updated.

Last post by psm - November 11, 2025, 15:23:25 PMHello Milbo,
when I disable "Use current shop template overrides", it still behaves the same.
When I click for example on the "Same as Billing" button, I can see this in the console:
POST ../cart?tmpl=component&task=checkout&redirect=0
and then the whole page refreshes again instead of updating via AJAX.

Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Re: Checkout stuck issue
Last post by fatelettronica - November 11, 2025, 10:45:27 AMHi,
The template I'm using is VP Merchant.
I received this reply from Jumbo in the VirtuePlanet forum.
The current version of the template is not fully compatible with VirtueMart 4.6.x. We are working on it and we will release the update soon. Until then, you can reinstall VirtueMart 4.4.10.

General Questions / Multi-upload does not accept ....
Last post by andrai2 - November 10, 2025, 21:07:39 PMHello VirtueMart community,
I'm running Joomla + VirtueMart and noticed an issue with multi-image upload:
I can upload .jpg files without problems.
I cannot upload .jpeg files in multi-upload mode — VirtueMart or Server rejects them.
Single-file upload works fine for .jpeg.
To replicate the behavior i need uplou jpeg image via multiple upload (please see the image)
i get error message: foto1.jpeg is not allowed. Allowed extensions: gif,jpg,png,wbmp,webp,doc,pdf,zip, i need confirm that is not Virtuemart but server issue
When checking VirtueMart's media info, I see the message:
The server supports mime type recognition
Supported filetypes for thumbnail creation GIF, JPG, PNG, WBMP, WEBP
as i understand i need ad JPEG there
From what I understand:
The server's PHP GD extension seems to not have JPEG support enabled, which prevents VirtueMart from creating thumbnails for .jpeg.
I want to confirm:
Is this behavior expected in VirtueMart multi-upload?
Can enabling JPEG support in PHP GD fully resolve this issue so .jpeg files work like .jpg?
Are there any other configuration settings in VirtueMart that could cause .jpeg rejection?
My setup:
Joomla version: 5.2
VirtueMart version: 4.4
PHP version: 8.2
GD extension: enabled,
I asked server to "enable jpeg" in gd, but want to confirm it is server issue not virtuemart issue
Any advice or confirmation would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Last post by Milbo - November 10, 2025, 18:21:21 PMHello PSM,
indeed, reading the first topic I did not get the point, that any ajax fails.
That is not a core file.
The whole case is strange. What you say reminds me at a broken ajax js. But why it sends the form then, if you do not use the button? That means first, the javascript works.
Hmmm, why do you still have the "enable legacy layouts" activated? What happens if you disable the "use shop overrides" in the "Core css styles and javascripts" section?

Quote from: psm on November 06, 2025, 21:51:38 PMThe files vm2front.js and jquery.vmtrigger.js are missing from the Network tab (they do not load).

Last post by StefanSTS - November 10, 2025, 18:15:30 PMAdding a 301 redirect in .htaccess generally helps, but I am not sure how to achieve that, if your products were on the first level.
You cannot set a general rule to redirect everything from / to /webshop.
You might want to add 301s for important products, and all categories.

Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Coupon code not working proper...
Last post by Kuubs - November 10, 2025, 12:41:35 PMI have an issue with the coupon codes. When I add 2 products, add the coupon code, it works great, but the moment you remove the first product from the cart, the code is not being added anymore. Problem is the helper file of the cart.php. On the setCouponCode it works with indexes but when you remove the first product the index is not 0 but 1 for the first product. That needs to be rewritten.
There is a bug with coupon codes. When you use allowed categories, add 2 products to the cart within these 2 categories and then remove the first product (very important to remove the first product) from the cart, teh coupon will not be applied properly. This is because the helper file that sets teh coupon is bugged, see setCouponCode()
This is a bug that is almost as old as 4.2.2 , but on the newer versions the bug is still here. The helper cart file is changed, but it didnt solve the issue

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
