Magento category page displays no products

e-commercemagentomagento-1.5

When I view a category page (ie. url.com/category.html) the page shows the category title, description but no products. Doesn't seem to be loading them since I get this message "There are no products matching the selection."

The products are enabled, visible in catalog & search, have quantity and are in stock and product categories are listed under a root category called "Default Category". I have a featured products listed on the home page by category ID which display fine and individual product detail pages display as they should as well.

I have tried refreshing cache/indexes and searching Google all to no avail. I thought it may be an issue caused by a customization I made to the theme but switching to the default theme made no change so it would seem I must be missing something in the product or category configurations.

Possibly related? – searching always returns no results even if by product name

I am using magento ver 1.5.1

Please check following settings are done for your product

The products must be Visible in Catalog.
The products must be Enabled.
Product must have a stock Quantity.
The product must be set to In Stock.
If the product is set not to track stock, it still need to have a stock Quantity and be set to In Stock.
The product must be assigned to the target Category.
If using multi-website mode (or if you imported the products through Data Flow), the products must be assigned to the target Website.
You must refresh your “var/Cache” & rebuild all indexes from admin > system > index management

Hope this helps you.

Magento products will not show in category

The checklist for whether items are in stock follows. Some will seem stupid until the first time you spend an hour trying to figure this problem out:

The products must be Visible in Catalog.
The products must be Enabled.
Product must have a stock Quantity.
The product must be set to In Stock.
If the product is set not to track stock, it still has to have a stock Quantity and be set to In Stock.
The product must be assigned to the target Category.
If using multi-website mode (or if you imported the products through Data Flow), the products must be assigned to the target Website.
You must refresh your Cache / Indices, just to make sure.

Welcome to Magento. Hope that helps!
