# How to remove Featured Products from VirtueMart Store Front

By default, the VirtueMart store front for Joomla 2.5 shows Featured Products. In a previous article we showed you [how to set a product as a featured product](/support/edu/joomla/joomla-2-5/set-featured-products-in-virtuemart/), however you can **disable the showing of featured products** on your VirtueMart frontpage. In this VirtueMart tutorial, we’ll show you how to prevent Featured Products from showing on your homepage.

**To disable Featured Products within ViruteMart:**

1. [Log into your Joomla Admin Dashboard](/support/edu/joomla/joomla-3/how-to-log-in-to-administrative-dashboard/)
2. In the **top menu**, hover over **Components** and click **VirtueMart**
3. Click the **Configuration** button
4. Click the **Templates** tab[![click-templates-tab](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/edu_joomla25_prevent-featured-products_click-templates-tab.gif)](/support/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/edu_joomla25_prevent-featured-products_click-templates-tab.gif)
