Here is the fixed show.php Just replace the old file in components\com_hikashop\views\product\tmpl with this one and it should fix everything ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/8.png ":)") Last edit: 14 years 2 months ago by [Eliot](/forum/user/1824-eliot "View Eliot's Profile").

I have unzipped and uploaded new show.php, created main description for product and removed all descriptions from variants. As result, when I see product in the shop, it comes with no description (description is empty). I made sure that a newer version of show.php has been properly uploaded and replaced the original file. I have also tried to create a new product from scratch same as SHIRT on your demo site, but it still does not work for me. BUT! I tried it on Hikashop's demo site and it works there! But not with my version..
