Administration & Configuration / Stop Custom Field from adding ...
Last post by hotrod - August 06, 2026, 02:14:22 AMI had this issue a few years back.. And someone gave me a file to change to stop my custom field from adding into the total seen on the product page.
I since Subscribed and updated to the latest VM and have lost that setting. We have an oversize shipping fee on some large parts. Its a custom Field OverSize Shipping. But it's adding to the product price.. making it seem higher that I should be selling it for. If I uncheck Automatically add empty option.. It doesn't had to the total unless checked.. but then the customer has to select it.. and can elect not to... I need it to add when added to the cart.. and it then says as it still does. Over size shipping fee added into total. I know Someone here gave me the file and fix.. just can't find it..
In the image below the cost of the radiator is $675 and over size shipping is $135 I can't have it adding into the price people are looking at...
I put a ticket in but I'm sure max is Busy...

Virtuemart Development and bug reports / Search ignores uncategorized c...
Last post by sandomatyas - August 03, 2026, 15:44:44 PMHi,
This looks like a logic bug in frontend keyword search (sortSearchListQuery), not a misconfiguration.
Setup (intentional)
Parent product assigned to a published category
Child products have their own SKUs, are published, and are intentionally not assigned to any category (category only on the parent)
show_uncat_child_products = 1
show_unpub_cat_products = 0
Expected
Searching by the child's SKU must return the child. That is exactly what show_uncat_child_products=1 is for.
Actual
0 results. The SKU match works in SQL, but the product is dropped afterwards by the category filters.
With show_uncat_child_products=1, search correctly builds:
((p.product_parent_id = "0" AND pc.virtuemart_category_id > "0") OR p.product_parent_id > "0")
so uncategorized children are allowed.
But then show_unpub_cat_products=0 unconditionally adds:
`c`.`published` = 1
For an uncategorized child, the LEFT JOIN leaves c.published as NULL, so NULL = 1 fails and the child is excluded.
So show_unpub_cat_products=0 silently cancels show_uncat_child_products=1. That is inconsistent: one setting explicitly allows uncategorized children, the other then rejects them because they have no category row at all (not because they belong to an unpublished category).
Suggested fix
c.published = 1 should only apply when a category is actually joined, e.g.:
(`pc`.`virtuemart_category_id` IS NULL OR `c`.`published` = 1)
Assigning every child to a category is not a valid solution here — the catalog is built on purpose with categories only on parents.
Thanks.

I can't figure out why the <lastmod> Tag is not showing in the sitemap XML.
Anyone has any idea?

Last post by iWim - July 23, 2026, 15:21:46 PMVirtueMart is at version 4.6.8 at this moment.
VirtueMart is Joomla 5 compatible since VM 4.2.6 (released 29 January 2024).
Your version of VirtueMart (4.2.4) is close to 3 years old.
Joomla 4 is EOL since October 2025.
There have been several recurity releases.
VirtueMart news: https://virtuemart.net/news
I strongly recomend you update to the latest version*!
Remember, your webshop holds the personal data of your customers!
I recomend to test the update on a copy of your site first.
Create a backup with Akeeba Backup.
Install WAMPServer or MAMP on your computer to create a local server.
Copy and install your webshop on your local server with Akeeba Kickstart.
Update this copy.
This way you know what to expect during the update process and solve potential issues, without affecting your live webshop.
And if something does go wrong, you don't have to panic: just reinstall the copy and start over.
Note:
* There is a VirtueMart 4.9. This is the beta for VM5, do not use a beta on a live website!

Plugin: VirtueMart (com_virtuemart) below 4.4.11 - Unauthenticated Reflected XSS and Authenticated SQL Injection
VirtueMart e-commerce component. CVE-2025-55757 (unauthenticated reflected XSS, affects 1.0.0-4.4.10) and CVE-2025-25228 (authenticated SQL injection in product management, affects 1.0.0-4.4.7).
