After installing VirtueMart 3<\/strong> in Joomla, you may want to make a Menu item<\/strong> that takes visitors to your online store. This will help people navigate to specific pages within your VirtueMart 3 e-commerce website. We also have a guide on How to Make VirtueMart 3 your Front Page<\/a> in Joomla.<\/p>\n

Making a VirtueMart 3 menu in Joomla<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Login to the Joomla Admin Dashboard<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Click Menus<\/strong>, roll your mouse over Main Menu<\/strong>, then click Add New Menu Item<\/strong>. See the steps outlined below.
    \n    \"VirtueMart<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. In the Menu Title<\/em> field, enter a name for your VirtueMart menu. This will be the name of the link in your site menu.<\/li>\n
  4. Next to Menu Item Type<\/em> click the Select<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n
  5. Click VirtueMart<\/strong> from the list.
    \n    \"vm3<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  6. The menu will drop-down and list VirtueMart menu options. Choose the part of VirtueMart you want the menu to link to. In my tests I selected Front Page<\/strong>.
    \n    \"vm3<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  7. Click the Save & Close<\/strong> button to create your VirtueMart 3 menu item. You will then see the new menu item listed in your Admin panel.
    \n    \"vm3<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n

    When you visit your site you will see the new menu there as well.
    \n    \"vm3<\/a><\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
