Hi,

I just updated from 3.0.16 til 3.0.18 on a copy of a live site, and after the update the view of the Product Categories kinda broke :(
We've tried deleting browser cache, switch browser, use different computer, but all with same result.

Does anyone else experience this? We're using J3.6.4 with PHP 5.5.38 for the site.

Check attachment below to see the problem.

Cheers

PS. Searched the forum before posting, but could not find anything related to issues in backend.
PSS. No backend overrides created on this install.

List of the changes in VM3.0.18 was written in http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=135402.0  - nobody has reported a layout issue like yours, and 3.0.18 was released over two months ago.

Many of us are now using 3.0.18.5 in live shops so maybe install that - on a backup copy of the site, of course.

Thanx for your prompt response!

The update I installed was 3.0.18 - so I'm gonna try if 3.0.18.5 makes any diffence! Have to admit, I missed there was even released a xxx.5 version of the update.
If not, i'm gonna try transfer the install to a different server with PHP 7.x and check if that makes a difference.

I'll report back after this :)

Cheers

18.5 is a dev version, but to me it is more stable than 18.0

I'm sure 18.5 is more stable - however with this specific issue, it made no difference over 3.0.18 :(
And i've just tried again, to copy the 3.0.16 site to another server (local MAMP this time) and the updating to 3.0.18.5 - but same result...!

Looks fine with 3.0.16 but not on 3.0.18.5 with no other modifications than updating VM.
Could it be some sort of conflict with other extensions?

Also now tried with PHP 5.6 and 7.08 - same result....

Gonna try disabling as many plugins/extensions as possible, to see if this makes a difference.

Cheers

Found it....!

The client is managing this site himself, and he has a bad habit using tables in every piece of editable description/text he can find.
In this case, he also used tables in the Product Category descriptions - and for some reasone 3.0.18.x is not able to handle this :(

Don't bother telling me, how stupid it is using tables, in a bootstrap template - I fully realise this. However - despite me having told him 25 times not to use tabels, he keeps doing it....

This time though, it just cost him 5 hours a extra consultancy.....

Thanx for your time - appreciate it!
