I just temporarily changed my own admin info so you can use mine.

Simply you need to change SEF alias. I entered Womens Vitamins category and I see:
Sef Alias = "Womens Vitamins-148"

you have blanko sign , for example you could put:

womens-vitamins-148


same with products, for SKU=HG0752451:

Product Alias = "Zuke's Mini Naturals Dog Treats Salmon - 6 oz-41112"

so just change aliases.

First of all please don’t take this like I’m mad at you. I’m not. You are trying to help me and I greatly
appreciate you taking the time for me. I’m just frustrated. So if I seem short tempered, I don’t mean to
be . Also if I have misunderstood what you told me I’m sorry.


So with that said;
If VirtueMart wants to match product names with aliases that's fine, but
shouldn’t they know that symbols like % and “ “ are not acceptable in aliases and automatically strip it out?

Does VirtueMart expect everyone to do this for every product? I have over 13,000 products.
Why isn’t this corrected automatically on all the product aliases?

And what about when my new products load automatically through my product feed?
I have an auto feed because I can’t spend the time chasing down product and editing them.

Does everyone who uses VM have this issue? I don’t remember this being an issue with VM 1.1.
Also is there any chance this is actually an incorrect setting in Joomla?

Thank you or your time.

I tought so maybe thay changes domething with latest updates sirst time I see that with your site. Usauly you dont enter alias at all when adding something then alias gets automaticly geterated in normal shape withoud special characters. All you need to do is to change aliases.
