Why my product is not showing up?

Hello,

I just migrated my site from dev to prod.

If you open the two websites, you will see products already been populated in the first dev website; however, it is empty in the second prod website.

Where is the product stored? I assume it stores in the database, right?

I already exported database from the first website and re-imported it to the second prod website, I used phpMyAdmin to do the export/import.

Did I miss anything? Where should I check?

Thanks lots in advance.

Re: Why my product is not showing up?

dev site only had product under Gift Box and is not clickable. Just images and descriptions down the page. No info links and no add to the cart.

All other categories say. Array

prod site identical to dev site Not sure where you added products but both sites are the same

On the first page of dev, you can see the products under the New Products For January section, while on prod, there is no any product.

There are still lots of products in dev, and thanks for reminding me this: I forgot I just changed menu as per client's request; but anyway, the promotion is based on the original dev with products already populated, there should at least some products showing on the New Products For January on prod, agree?

I just checked both sites: in dev, there are 11 categories, while in prod, there is none

admin configuration > index listing You have new products show on index on div and on prod you do not have that choice selected to show in index.

That isn't your only issue. What categories are your products listed under? and why the Array when you click on a categorie?

Thank you. This changing menu request really screws up lots of things!

I am creating category/product on prod manually now.

You don't seem to be using cat tabs that are built in to zen cart.

You have session IDs in your links which means to me that you are hand coding those links when you should let zen cart do the links for you.

Admin > Configuration > Layout Settings > "Categories-Tabs Menu ON/OFF" to zero
