Magento

I think that the item is not enable.
Magento put off line items (and categories) if empty or without stock (if no backorder is flagged).

Go to manage product, select m9236 ant take a look
GENERAL -> STATUS ... enabled?
INVENTORY -> NR ITEMS must to be almost 1 , at the bottom from drop-down is INSTOCK?

Take a look also on the tab WEBSITE to control if your storefront is flagged!

Yes, everything is set correctly.

Although where do I find that “Website” section you have mentioned above? :o)

On the left side when you edit the product, under inventory there is WEBSITE, take a look

Well, I am affraid I do not have such button there. I guess it is because I have only one Website, Store and View so there is not anything to switch between as on your screenshot.

Please see enclosed screenshot below.

That’s the exact same case for me :(

I think I have figured it out.

Create new Website in System - Manage Stores and than you will see “Website” button in Manage Product category.

Create new Website in System - Manage Stores and than you will see “Website” button in Manage Product category.

Yes, it will.
But this still does not make any actual Product show up anywhere.

(As you can see, I’m trying to figure out the same problems some of you are… while Magento looks extremely nice, handling it without some kind of guidance like “How to set up your first Magento store, step-by-step” is frustrating, to say the least).

Also make sure that the product visibility is set to Catalog, Search or you wont find it anywhere on the storefront.
To set up visibility, in the backend go to Catalog > Manage Product > Add or Edit a Product > General Tab > Visibility

Let me know if that works out for you

no store view here either
Is there a step by step to set up simple store?

Actually forget the above - I just found out why.

Ok, if you do a fresh install and have a single store, do the following…

1. Decide on a category in which to place all other catagores, I used “Root Catalog”, I am guessing you can use the “Default Catalog” that is already there or whatever.
2. Go to System - Manage Stores
3. Click on Main Website Store
4. Select the root category you want to hold all your own categories
5. Go back to enter or move all your own categories (if you’ve already created them) so they are children of your newly assigned root category
6. Make sure all your new categories are inside the assigned root category and set to Active

I missed out numbers 2-4. Magento should really have the default category set as the default “Root Category” in System - Manage Stores. Mine was blank until I changed it.

So you don’t need multiple stores, thank god.

Also make sure that your products are associated with your websites in Websites tab.

This thread has been a great help, the documentation is not really clear at all about setting a “default category”.  I was struggling for about an hour on how to get my categories to show up in the URL structure.

Thanks everyone. They should make this thread sticky!
