Update to VirtueMart 2.0.0 Stable

The VirtueMart development team finally announced the stable version of VirtueMart 2.0.

We are informing you that we upgraded all our VirtueMart templates to use the latest version of VirtueMart 2.0.0 today. If you have not started your website yet, we strongly recommend you to re-download your VirtueMart based template (at these point, those templates are Hot Furniture Store, Hot eCommerce, Hot Fashion Store and Hot Cosmetics) and re-install template on your server using the HotStart method.

Please be advised that automatic upgrade from the VirtueMart admin panel, will most likely make break your website, at least the VirtueMart based pages.

If you already have created a website with one of our template and VirtueMart 2.0 and you can't do the HotStart reinstallation, this is what you should do to upgrade VirtueMart to version 2.0 stable:

1. Download appropriate package from VirtueMart website:
   1. If your current VirtueMart version is 1.9.8(M) or 2.0RC3, download file" com_virtuemart2.0.0_extract_first.zip"
   2. If your current VirtueMart version is 1.9.8 (any letter before M), download file "com_virtuemart2.0.0_Pre_M_extract_first.zip"
   3. If your current VirtueMart version is 1.9.8 (any letter before K), download file "com_virtuemart2.0.0_Pre_K_extract_first.zip"
2. Unzip the package on your computer, and you would get two files: "com_virtuemart2.0.0.zip" and "com_virtuemart_ext_aio.2.0.0.zip"
3. Go to Extensions > Extension Manager and install file "com_virtuemart2.0.0.zip".
