Hi,
I've noticed that viewing an order via Order number and Secret key does not work any more. Instead user is forced to login in order to view their orders, which makes this feature redundant (tracking orders via Number and secret key).
I tried this on the Virtuemart Demo site and get the same result.
If you try to retrieve the order you placed on the Demo site via Order tracking:
http://demo.virtuemart.net/orders
You will be redirected to Login in order to view the order.
Is that feature now made redundant?

I am running on Joomla 3.8.3 and VM 3.2.12

Works for me with VM3.2.12 and Joomla 3.8.3

Is there some SEF routning troble ? If You click on the Ikon (for viewing order in the frontend) to the right of the ordernumber in backend, what Do You get ?

Hi AH,
Then is it insecure to set Order tracking mode to: "Provide link for guest shoppers" so they can access orders via order num. and secret key?

AH

It is not "insecure" 

But any user that has the information can see the order details - it is up to you how you configure your system
