When I view a category page (ie. url.com/category.html) the page shows the category title, description but no products. Doesn’t seem to be loading them since I get this message “There are no products matching the selection.”
The products are enabled, visible in catalog & search, have quantity and are in stock and product categories are listed under a root category called “Default Category”. I have a featured products listed on the home page by category ID which display fine and individual product detail pages display as they should as well.
I have tried refreshing cache/indexes and searching Google all to no avail. I thought it may be an issue caused by a customization I made to the theme but switching to the default theme made no change so it would seem I must be missing something in the product or category configurations.
Possibly related? – searching always returns no results even if by product name
I am using magento ver 1.5.1
How many attributes do you have? Too many attributes marked as “Visible on product listing page” can break the indexes. Are there records in the catalog_product_flat_* table(s)?
