Product display on main page
 
I tried to search for this because I am sure it's been asked before but I didn't have any luck.

I recently purchased a template and installed it. Now that it's up and running I am not seeing any products on the main page. They show products in the template, and I am sure this is probably a setting within the admin area but I can't find it.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks so much!

Products on the main page are featured products only - go to admin/categories and add products to the list at the bottom of the page (you can do this for any category)

Re: Product display on main page
 
Hi,
A while ago I made this post and it fixed my problem, but now the problem is back and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.

On the front end of my cart the first page displayed (home.php) shows the special offer/sale that we are currently running, and then the rest of the page is blank. I have added featured products to the one category that I have enabled but still nothing.

Also, since I now only have one product category, is there a way to make the home page default to the main category page where the subcategories with images will show up?

Thanks,
Jeanne

if you go to categories, set the featured product there on the first page, not 'inside' your category

I think I have done that, this is what I have in the backend
(pic). The "active" box is not checked but I have checked the boxes and then chose update.
