Ok, thanks. Here is now a new problem seemingly related to the problem we had with the characteristics. I decided to not use characteristics for now so that we can at least get the shop up and running.
The option "Display a contact button on the product page" is enabled, and it displays correctly. Yet, when I want to send a message using this button, the captcha is not displayed and when I try to submit the message, I get an error saying that the Captcha was incorrect.
Subsequint to this I enabled the debug mode to see if there were any errors, but now the entire site fails with the following error: 500 - JDatabaseMySQL::query: 1146 - Table 'lesswhkd_jo151.j16_hikashop_variant' doesn't exist SQL=SELECT variant_product_id FROM j16_hikashop_variant WHERE variant_product_id IN (11,426,430,432,434,435,449,451,525,526,528,529,530,531,532,533,534,602,603,604)
