Products not showing up for some sub category pages

Hi Everyone,

We have imported products and products are not showing up in these category pages. For instance: http://okidoqui.com/monitor-display-projector-accessory-c-1651_1652_1653
http://okidoqui.com/network-hardware-antenna-c-1657_1706

The product are present in the admin but not on the live Web site. I tried to reset the Master categories ID but didn't solve the problem. Also, when I click on these categories through the admin, the page refreshes without opening such category.

Can anyone help us?

Thanks in advance

All best,

Re: Products not showing up for some sub category pages

What happens if you turn off the SEO/Re-writes?

What happens if you switch to the Classic Template?

Have you some products_id for some of the Products in these categories?

Re: Products not showing up for some sub category pages

Are you able to turn off the SEO/re-writes to make it a little easier to manage the links on your site while looking into this?

I cannot search for this product nor pull it up by manufacturer nor category ...

Could you also look in your Admin and locate the Product in your Categories/Products and hit the C for Copy then the Multiple Categories Link Manager and see what the Master Category are for these Products and if other Categories are marked as Linked Categories ...

I turned off the SEO and checked for that product. I found that at this URL http://okidoqui.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1657_170688&products_id=746531. I attached a screenshot. The SEO module is now turned on. I can't leave it off because we have the all products on most comparison shopping engines. If the provided and the screenshot are not enough, please specify a range of time (1 an hour) and I will turn it off.

Attachment 10523

I am trying to locate the product in my admin but when I search for a product the listing of the main categories reloads with the same categories. The admin search for a product is not working properly. Therefore, I cannot click on the C button.

What else can we do?

Re: Products not showing up for some sub category pages

I was able to display the Multiple Categories Link Manager for that product and it seems right. This is the message:
Product ID# 746531 Dual band outdoor signal antenna
Product Master Category: ##Antenna ID# 1706## ####Current Number of Linked Categories: 1.

Here the screenshot:
[Attachment no longer available]

Does it help?

Re: Products not showing up for some sub category pages

This looks like there is something not right with your database tables ...

Using phpMyAdmin, search the table:
products

for the products_id 746531

What comes up on the master_categories_id ...

Browse the table:
products

Do ALL products have a master_categories_id

Search the table:
products_to_categories

for the products_id 746531

What comes up for the products_id and categories_id

Search the table:
categories

for the categories_id 1706

What comes up on the parent_id

Browse the table:
categories_description

Do ALL Categories have a categories_description?

Re: Products not showing up for some sub category pages

Found the problem! The multisite module. The categories description in the database were missing. I assigned the categories to the site with the multisite tool and now everything works. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!
