Hi all,

I'm having issues with displaying a product. I transferred all files of a website I was developing to a new server and domain name. It is now running in the new domain name however there are some unique issues. In the menu manager when I check the menu links, three out of four of the product links say "Component 'com_virtuemart' does not exist" and are unpublished but the links are there in the frontend and they work too. One of them don't seem to work however this is the only one that technically exists. When I click on the link in the frontend, it doesn't show the product tho like it used to. I do have other links to this product page from another webpage in the website and that works. I'm confused why if I can link to it and have it work, why doesn't the original? Please help, this is a live site right now and I can't get anyone to do anything until Monday and I don't want visitors seeing this mess over the weekend.

This is the page that is wrong: http://autocoachsport.com/smart-watch
It should look like this page: http://autocoachsport.com/?Itemid=167

If I try to change the first to an external link with that same url as the second, then they both just don't work and gives me an error message.

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply. The contractor I hired said that it was because I installed a plugin called AceSEF and it was adding duplicate url's (I guess this thread is in the wrong section). He disabled the plugin but I was wondering it is possible then to enable the plugin without creating the same problem.

AceSEF does not play with VirtueMart 2 - see our lead developers comment. http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=111327.msg374257#msg374257

VM2 is designed to work with J2.5's inbuilt SEF.
