define_main_page.php Not Displaying - PLEASE HELP!!

[dave_nextexit]

Hi,

I need a hand getting both the define_main_page.php content AND my top level products to display on my main page. Right now it's either or.

I have "Categories - Always Show on Main Page" set to 1, but when this setting is on, my define_main_page.php content disappears and only my top level products display. If I disable "Categories - Always Show on Main Page", the define_main_page.php content displays again, but the products are then hidden of course.

What I need to know how to do is display both the top level products AND the define_main_page.php content together on the main page. Please help!!

Thanks,

Dave

No Link to your install so will have to guess

Try setting the template to "classic" and see if it operates correctly as this is the default action - - unless you have someting else set??

You might have this set causing this

admin > config > layout settings > Main Page - Opens with Category

Hi kobra,

I have this set to 1:

admin > config > layout settings > Main Page - Opens with Category

Are you saying this is why the define_main_page content isnt displaying?

That is what I am referencing - - turn it off and see what appears.
It is different than "Categories - Always Show on Main Page"

I turned it to 0 and now the define_main_page content displays, but the products do not.

Set "Categories - Always Show on Main Page" to true/"1'

[dave_nextexit]

Set "Categories - Always Show on Main Page" to true/"1'

It has been set to 1, I just double checked and it is indeed set to 1.
