Magento – Why are there no options for this configurable product

associate-productsconfigurable-productmagento-1.9productssimple-product

Im having some trouble with some configurable products, for some reason on the backend this configurable product has 56 associated products attached too it, but when you view it on the front it doesn't show any options at all.

Front End:

Back End:

and before you ask the quantities is set at 0, it is enabled, its in the correct store, and the visibility is set to catalog, search.

Its annoying because its not viewable on the front end when looking through the catalog but its viewable when you put in the url.

Any ideas would be helpful.

I figured it out, you have to go into the configurable product and then select a simple product from the list of associated products and set the status to enabled and the tax class to shipping to get it to show up on the front,

But because I have over 23000 simple products I tried to do this in mass by selecting all the simple products and updating the attributes to have the correct status and shipping class, but that didn't work.

I'm gonna have to go into each individual product and change the status to enabled and tax class to shipping to get it to show up.
