Changing layout of categories page

[Picklehead]

Hi,
I am currently trying to change the layout of my categories page so that products can appear above the actual categories.

In my theme I have changed html>com_virtuemart>category>default.php and now have the products etc above the categories which is great.

But I now need to hide the products and I am getting an error if on the menu to display the Virtuemart category in the 'Virtuemart category view settings' I switch 'Show products of the selected category' to NO, i get the following error Call to a member function getResultsCounter() on string.

Hoping someone has an idea why this may be happening.

Thanks

Joomla 4.3.3
Virtuemart 4.0.20
