Hi,
I'm uising Joomla 2.5.8, VM2.0.14 and JoomSEF 4.2.9 with VM plugin 3.0.7

I've created a new VM 'Categories Layout' page, but none of the category items have had a URL generated and all just link back to the homepage.

I've purged URL's and cleared the cache.

Please help

Hi,
I've tested it and the VM Categories Layout is working correctly on my test server with the same software versions.
Try navigating through the page once again and then check in JoomSEF's URLs Manager if there are any VirtueMart links created that have the "Home Page" displayed in the SEF URL column. If there are, please post those links.
