Why BASE PRICE show £5 and does not change?

[CADO]

Hi guys

My VirtueMart store is setting BASE PRICE automatically to £5.
When I add a value to COST PRICE it sums up with £5 from BASE PRICE. For instance, if I set COST PRICE to £7 the price shown on the website will be £12.
As my prices are set £0 on the frontend, the visitor has to select the quantity and price by choosing from the Custom Field.
Please see images attached.

I will appreciate any help.

Best regards

Hello Cado

You should probably not use Overwrite final. You have £ 0.00 in the overwrite field.

And for security reasons you should upgrade your VM installation to at least 2.6.12. Latest version in 2.6 series is 2.6.14.

Thank you for your help guys.

Jorgen: I did change it but nothing happened. It keeps the 5.

bluezeyes: Thank you for your advise.

so you have selected "Disabled" ?  not "Overwrite Final" as shown in your screenshots?

[CADO]

Hi GJC

Yes, I changed to "Disabled", but it still is showing £5 in Base Price and Final Price.

yes it should unless you have some default (not filtered) tax or price rule set

what is it meant to "change" to?

Hi GJC

I meant that I am unable to select the field and change it and it seems to be set £5 as default.

you can't set a base price -- u only set the final price and the base price is calculated from that with any tax , discount etc
