I'm trying to set up a category products list on my homepage following this tutorial.
{{block type="catalog/product_list" name="home.catalog.product.list" alias="products_homepage" category_id="27" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}
The above code doesn't output anything when I put it inside "Content" of my CMS home page. I'm using version 1.9.2. What could be the problem?
Best Answer
Assuming you are using
1.9.2.[23]
or1.9.2.[01]
with security patchSUPEE-6788
applied, you will need to add the block to the allowed block whitelist.System > Permissions > Blocks
.You should then be able to see output on the CMS page. If you don't have a menu item for
System > Permissions > Blocks
then you are probably on the older version without the patch so you're encountering a different problem.
