Default 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)

Default 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

PS. Site is at www.scrapbooksuppliesdirect.com/shop and www.unibindphotobooks.com/shop (running dual installs sharing a dB)

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.
