-- HikaShop version -- : 3.1.1
-- Joomla version -- : 3.7.2
-- PHP version -- : 7.1.x
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Chrome

I did an import of all the VM products en categories. After the import the VirtueMart Fallback Redirect plugin is activated. What is the best way to make the Virtuemart URL's redirect tot the Hikashop category/products? The VM menu items are still active. Do I have to disable them? Now nothing is happening and the virtuemart product is loaded as before.

I hope you can show me the way to go on this...

Regards

Hi,

That plugin should normally redirect automatically the URLs of VirtueMart to HikaShop by just enabling it after the import. If that doesn't work then either the hikashop/VM tables that are created during the import are missing in the database because they weren't moved along with the other tables when you did a migration or something, or you've deleted them, or the URLs of the products in VM were customized (with a SEF extension or something) and the plugin is unable to perform its magic in that case.
In any case, this is just a fallback for when URLs of VM were indexed and the new URL of the products that you create in HikaShop would be different.
You'll still need to create HikaShop menu items and modules to properly list your categories/products according to your needs.
