Magento – There are no products matching the selection

Make sure you rebuilt you indexes, and that the products are in stock. If you want out of stock products to appear you need to set this to Yes: System -> Configuration -> Inventory -> Stock Options -> Display Out of Stock Products. A reindex might be required after you change this setting.
