I recently upgraded to Virtuemart 2.0.6. Once the upgrade was completed all menu item links to either the Virtuemart Front page, Category Layout, and VirtueMart Categories Layout no longer work properly.

Front page menu item
• No longer displays Featured Products, Latest Products, Topten Products
• Category links to empty page where products should be displayed

Category Layout menu item
• No products are displayed

VirtueMart Categories Layout menu item
• Category links to empty page where products should be displayed

Per the following forum post https://www.gavick.com/forums/boutique/virtuemart-updates-15562.html I updated the files in template/html/com_virtuemart an the language file-
templateDetails.xml

Joomla 2.5.4
Boutique 2.9.1
Virtuemart 2.0.6

In fact template VM styles don't affect on any backend VM settings like menu links etc. in my opinion something goes wrong during VM update process not when you override template files. Please try to install VirtueMart again.

Thanks bkrztuk - it turned out that once the upgrade was in place I had to remove the products from the "default" shopper group - all is fine now.
