Product Categories not loading after update

[MalcolmT]

Hi
When I update VM 3.2.2 to 3.2.4 the product category field within product admin just displays a continuous loading icon. This applies to new and existing products.
If I then save the product it loses its category.

The site is Joomla 3.8 and PHP 7.0.23

Any ideas why

Hi
I have tried installing J3.8 over the top of existing installation without success

I am just about to try installing a pre J3.8 backup in order to try installing 3.8 again but not using the updater

Everything was working fine prior to updating

the last page of that post has more or less a summary

I think Max says he changed it to an ajax call from VM3.2.0 -- may be wrong

but that is the but of the problem .. the 4 possible reasons given in   http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=137040.msg485298#msg485298

has nothing to do with joomla.. it is the method used to retrieve the cat selects changed to an ajax call

check for JS errors

Couldn't see any JS errors

Driving me crazy!

Check the live_site in configuration.php, if it matches URL of your site. E.g. when your .htaccess adds www to url and live site does not include it, it is causing this problem too.
