1. Go in the database
2. Looking tayulitsu "menu"
3. Find in it our menu that leads to the main page vm2
4. Click to change

Just did a test on a clients site that has this disease

tried making a new menu item with the VM Admin Menu module disabled in the Extensions manager

Sadly new menu came out -> /com-virtuemart-menu-paymentmethods/downloads-and-videos.html

looks like once you have the disease it is permanent

Can't uninstall and clean the menu table cos not my site...

on another thread someone suggested going to the joomla menu manager & hitting the 'rebuild' icon - that fixed the issue for me

Hello!

I thought that I had resolved the BIG problem from com-virtuemart-menu-configuration/ which appear in all new items menu, but not.... Please some developer could say something about the solution? This problem broke our urls... The major problem is that I have uninstalled finally virtuemart from my site and the com-virtuemart-menu-configuration/ continues appearing in all my new url. I'm very desperate... I have to change manually all my new urls from the data base to get the correct url. This is a big mistake.

Thanks and best regards

try going into the menu manager & clicking the 'rebuild' button - that worked for me

unfortunately you seem to have to do this EVERY TIME you add/edit a menu item

@tbonmaticm - have you uninstalled the admin module virtuemart admin menus (or what ever its called)?

This seems to be the source of these.. if you uninstalled make sure the menus table has these menus deleted - search for com-virtuemart-menu-configuration etc in the table and make sure it is only the references to the admin module you are deleting

as for devs etc helping - it sems not a single one of us has seen this live so very difficult..

I confirm the issue and this solution -- disabling that admin menu module seems to have fixed the duplicate menu problem, the random com-virtuemart-shippingmethod type url and the ordering problems.

The ordering and weird menu behavior had been a problem on the site since at least 2.6.2 (maybe 2.6.0 though) I believe which is what I just upgraded the site from to 2.6.6 (J 2.5.22) but it was definitely worse and added the weird URL snippet after the upgrade.  All of it seems fine now after disabling that in extension manager.

Also, I had already completely removed xmap when trying to fix the menu issue.

Thank you for the feedback - at least others know now what and how - nice to know why .. but haven't had the problem..

I randomly got this problem today. Would like devs to reply on how to fix it.

[AntiDrama]

i did that, cause it was mentioned b4. But i would like actual solution to the reason why it does that.

as mentioned many times - no dev has ever experienced this problem - I have spent quite a while trying to see why and haven't found any reason for it or seen it on any of my multiple sites I run

[dsrpmedia]

yes it is strange - I have worked on quite a few VM sites since I first encountered the problem. The only constant I can see is the sites which developed the issue were all updated versions (not necessarily from VM 1, just from pre-VM 2.2x) - I have never seen the issue with a fresh install.

dsrpmedia - your probably on to something there ... yes - I haven't got access to any old upgraded sites to investigate

There are funny bugs like this around .. there is the J1.5 to J2.5 one - random reordering of menu order - seen it often .
You need to manually go into the menus table and delete everything from the order column (interferes with the gt and lt settings) then reorder them in Joomla

Have you tried to Rebuild The Menu? I had this issue before In my case My URL was http://www.domain.ltd/com-virtuemart-menu-categories/products. I went to Menu Manager then Selected all Items, and Hit rebuild. Everything back to normal without that "com-virtuemart-menu-categories" at the address bar.

Good Luck,
