Clicking Categories nothing happens

I don't know why but when I click on a top categories link (which I have at the top) nothing happens it just goes to the main page. I have products listed and they still don't show, what could I have done?

Re: Clicking Categories nothing happens

Can you post a link to your site?

Are the products in those categories? What is their organization?

Re: Clicking Categories nothing happens

In Configuration > Layout Settings, what do you have for
Categories - Always Show on Main Page
and
Main Page - Opens with Category ?

Which categories hold the products, and how many are there?

Just for laughs (and because I can't think of any reason why this should not be working for you), try turning on a sidebar with the categories sidebox. Enable category counts in admin > My Store. Does that work at all?

Ok, turned on the sidebox categories and it shows them, still nothing.

:(

I wonder what happened?

Re: Clicking Categories nothing happens

Curious... the allproducts listing works, but still not the categories. The address bar does say it is on the correct category page, though.

I checked the stylesheet and can't find anything that would be hiding the product listing display. I wonder what would happen if you put a couple of subcategories in one of the empty top cats, and put products in one of the subs.

Re: Clicking Categories nothing happens

I created a subcategory to the art named illustrations, I added 3 products to that subcategory.

Still I see nothing. I am totally confused why this is happening. I appreciate you trying to help

Re: Clicking Categories nothing happens

Could you switch to the Classic Template and see if things start working?

Still having the same problems in the classic

Maybe I'll just do a fresh install of the upgrade, and start over from there and see how things go. :D
