How about to change the line
with this one

Hello again.

I added after line 82 the following code, but it does not display the data((

<div style="border:1px solid #333; border-left:none; border-right:none;">
<?php
$custom = json_decode($this->item->extra_fields);
$db = & JFactory::getDBO();
$id = $custom[3]->value;
$sql = 'SELECT product_ordered FROM #__virtuemart_products WHERE virtuemart_product_id='.$id;
$db->setQuery($sql) ;
$item_sold = $db->loadResult();
?>
<?php echo $this->item->numOfvotes.' <br> <span style="color:red; font-size:1.Sen">'.$item_sold.'</span> was bought';
?></div>

esposito,
I have explained above that for item.php you should use :instead of

Hello dear. I am now on category_item.php and i believe that the above applies for item.php. Right?. I tried the code now on category_item.php and returns as result a line on top and " was bought". No numbers displayed.

I attach you the files i modified for your view. Many thanks

Hmm, i'm abit confuse, why you said that it worked properly in your past reply above?
So it was once worked then now it's not working any more?
Is there something you did that make the code is no longer worked?
Please let me know
