The checklist for whether items are in stock follows. Some will seem stupid until the first time you spend an hour trying to figure this problem out: The products must be Visible in Catalog. The products must be Enabled. Product must have a stock Quantity. The product must be set to In Stock. If the product is set not to track stock, it still has to have a stock Quantity and be set to In Stock. The product must be assigned to the target Category. If using multi-website mode (or if you imported the products through Data Flow), the products must be assigned to the target Website. You must refresh your Cache / Indices, just to make sure. |
