magento cleaning my category to 2000 products - magento

After updating my category or subcategory products disappearing from it. Strange because always are just 2000 products left. Cache, indexing not helping. If this make more sense actually category disappearing from product.

Open your logs, there is a PHP error about max_input_vars.

Why is Magento only showing 22 products on the front when I have 409 configurable products?

Im getting incredibly annoyed with my magento website, I have 4900 products 409 of them are configurable products, when I make a category in this case carpets and try and save the 4900 products to that category it makes a duplicate category called the exact same as the previous, now whats confusing is that I dont know how this is happening usually magento panics when it has 2 things the same, both these categories have the exact same ID its incredibly annoying and to top it off its only showing 22 products on the front in the category carpets, any ideas ??
I disabled the theme and just had the default theme to see if that was the problem its not.
You can check out this annoying website at http://192.163.235.139/carpets.html
Right, this answer makes no sense whatsoever, but Ive managed to fix it it had something to do with the qty and that all the simple products had nothing for quantity not even 0 so what you had to do was go into the simple product individually and just click save and thats it the products now appear on the page. its the biggest load of crap I have ever seen in my life.
so if your having this issue with your products go into a simple product change nothing and just click save and it works.
I had the same issue.
In my case it was a frontend bug. It's not possible to have two categories with the same id.
May be upgrade your version.

Magento product is not showing in the category

This is the weirdest problem that I had with magento so far.
I've been using magento for 5 months now.
so I have one category with 4 sub-category. In one of the sub-category listed 62 products.
From the back end of that category listed 62 products, every product is configurable with simple products in it set to not showing individually
So when I check the back end it is 62 products showing also on the front end, BUT on the front end some product are not showing, how come it is 62? because some products show up twice to replace the one that was not showing
I refresh and re-index a lot just to make sure, sometimes the product that didn't show up, suddenly shows up but other product that was showed up, disappear. and sometimes, products on that category change position, for example sometimes the first product on that category is A, then next time I browse through that category the first product is B
what could be the problem? how can I fix this thing

Magento product categories disappear when trying to add new products

This is an odd issue. All of our categories are showing up in the Magento admin category area but when we try and add new products we cannot assign them to specific categories because they don't show up. I have tried manually adding a simple product and a configurable product but the only category that I have available is the default category, none of my other categories show up. I have attached a screenshot of the product page and category page listing all our categories. Anyone else have this issue or might be able to point me in the right direction? I have tried flushing the all the cache, nothing seems to work... We are running 1.5.
Thanks for the help.

All of our available categories.

Try this:
UPDATE catalog_category_entity SET children_count = "1" WHERE children_count < 1;
I had some issues with the children_count being a negative value, and this fixed it for me.

Magento category page displays no products

When I view a category page (ie. url.com/category.html) the page shows the category title, description but no products. Doesn't seem to be loading them since I get this message "There are no products matching the selection."
The products are enabled, visible in catalog & search, have quantity and are in stock and product categories are listed under a root category called "Default Category". I have a featured products listed on the home page by category ID which display fine and individual product detail pages display as they should as well.
I have tried refreshing cache/indexes and searching Google all to no avail. I thought it may be an issue caused by a customization I made to the theme but switching to the default theme made no change so it would seem I must be missing something in the product or category configurations.
Possibly related? – searching always returns no results even if by product name
I am using magento ver 1.5.1
Please check following settings are done for your product
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 need 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 “var/Cache” & rebuild all indexes from admin > system > index management
Hope this helps you.
Next time if you have same problem you can try two things:
1 - Reindex catalog and products
2 - Check user permissions
If you move your database from one server to another or you restore the database you might want to check the customer_group table. More specifically you should check the "NOT LOGGED IN" records and its ID, it should be "0" if it is not the products won't be visible for that group of users which is pretty much all users on most Magento shops.
How many attributes do you have? Too many attributes marked as "Visible on product listing page" can break the indexes. Are there records in the catalog_product_flat_* table(s)?
OK after I looked up the records and replaced my theme's list.phtml file with the default one (for about the 100th time) products started displaying. Not sure what changed but as long as they continue to display I'm happy.

Why are my related products not displaying on my product page?

I have gone to admin -> manage product -> product information page -> related products
Then I added a product that is related, and saved.
I went to that product and refreshed the page, but nothing changed. Why not?
Also, be sure to check that the product you're trying to see in 'Related Products' is not already in your cart. Magento has a default filter applied that removes items in the cart from the related products collection.
Solution:
Login to Admin
Go to System -> Index Management
Select All checkboxes
Select 'Reindex Data' from Actions selection list
Click Submit button
Reference: Magento Up-sells Cross-sells and Related products are not showing up
Related Products appear in product info page, in the right column.
Cross Sell items appear in the shopping cart.
Upsells for this product are items that your customers would ideally buy instead of the product they’re viewing.These appear on the product info page underneath the product description.
As a result, I understand that you would show products bottom of the product info page, you should choose upsells instead of related products.
If you want related products ( which I can misunderstanding you ) do following things :
Check related product status is enabled.
Check visibility status set "Catalog" or "Catalog Search"
If everything is fine, check the inventory of related products.Stock should be greater than 0.
Last thing, related products must be include a category. Click "categories" link to check and see if the product added in a category.
Click on the "Reset Filter" button on top of the related product listing. It will list all products in table. Or you can clear cache + reindex data.
I had the same issue. After some time ago, I found that the products are not made to be visible in the visibility section, and that the products are not set to be in any website.
Hope this is the answer, and should be, because if you set up everything right there is nothing that can make problems.
Make sure the product and related product are under the same website. This isn't apparent when adding the relating products.
One possible pitfall you can run into is that you use a template without a right column. In that case you have to use unsetChild and insert to move the related product block.
