Since we installed a slider extension, clicking "Add to cart" does nothing. No message, the cart module stays empty. The category page buttons still work.
When only the product page breaks after adding an extension, it is almost always a JavaScript error, mostly jQuery loaded twice – the second copy drops the VirtueMart cart handler.

1. Open the browser console (F12) on a product page and click Add to cart. An error like "$(...).virtuemart is not a function" or a second jquery.min.js in the Network tab confirms it.
2. Turn off jQuery loading in the slider's own settings – Joomla already loads it.
3. If the slider has no such option, load it only on the pages that need it (module assignment) instead of every page.
