PS:
VirtueMart is at version 4.8.0 at this moment.
VirtueMart is Joomla 5 compatible since VM 4.2.6 (released 29 January 2024).
Your version of VirtueMart (4.2.0) 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!

Last post by iWim - August 22, 2026, 14:23:17 PMVM automatically (re)creates smaller images.
You can change the image size in the backend, then VM (re)creates the new images automatically.
It should also be possible to have VM create different image sizes through a template override:
https://docs.virtuemart.net/tutorials/templating-layouts/different-thumbnail-sizes
When bigger images mess up the design of your shop, use CSS to (re)style it.
If you need help with CSS than please provide a URL to a page where we can see the image messing up your layout.

Last post by info@fionab.co.za - August 22, 2026, 13:41:54 PMHi
I have an issue that my products are displaying in the correct product category via Virtuemart. But when I click on the drop down main menu and click on the category the products do not display there. I have attached some screen shots. I know I am doing something wrong, just for the life of me, have not clue what it is. Hopefully someone can assist.
