Hi
I have a rather strange issue. I always import my product using CSV improved.
My products seemed to import correctly, but they are not displaying on the front end.
When i go into the individual product the category looks correct. The product only shows up on the front end when i open it in the admin area and save it. (although i have not changed any information.
I thought this could be an issue with stock control, although my site is set to allow ordering products that are not in stock.
When i view the product category list it shows me that there are 0 products in each category - although i know that they are there (see attached).
Once i click on SHOW they products do show up. (see attached).
I would appreciate your help. Thanks
Using VM 2.0.18a and Joomla 2.5.6

Are the products published? What happens when you add a stock number to a product?
yes, they are published. That was the first thing i checked :)
It's difficult for me to say what happens when i add a stock number to a product, because as soon as i open up a products' details and then click on save it shows up in the front end. (irrespective of whether or not i have added a stock number)
Seems that i finally figured it out.
The products were displaying as published in the admin area.
I opened one then saves; then exported using csvi.
Only the one that i had opened and saved displayed a 1 in the 'published' field.
I added the 1 next to all the products in the 'published' column, did another import and now they display.
