I am developing a new store in CE 1.7.0.2.
I have about 130 categories so far, all placed under a root category.
The root category is also defined in Ststem -> Magage Stores -> Our Store -> Root Category
If I access the Category pages directly, I can see all products and sub categories in breadcrumbs etc, so I know my structure is correct. I know I am missing something simple.
I am using the the modern template for now until I get the site functional, so all the files are original.
EDIT I should also mention that the System -> Config -> Catalog -> Category Top Navigation -> Maximal Depth is set to 1
Any thoughts?
OK -- After many hours of searching I finally figured it out. If you export your products via any script (mine was custom built -- I exported from CE 1.3.2.4) and import them to a later version (1.7.0.2), even though the import goes smoothly, the values for certain things might not make the transition as smoothly. Even though I had set my root category for my store view, my products were not applied to a store. As a result they were there, but not there.
My solution: Catalog -> Manage Products -> Select all -> Actions -> Update Attributes -> Submit .. Once there check your Websites tab. Make sure to "check" your main website button, and click save. Run a full reindex and clear cache (I use SSH and sudo rm -R * inside /var/cache and /var/session directory).
I hope this helps others who have run into the same issue.
Thank you Moldovan Gheorghe Dani for your answer -- Your help is appreciated.
I just tried on my local environment with same version of magento and theme, and i have no problem at all.
I noticed that when you create a new category "Is Active" flag is set to No by default, so make sure that is set to Yes, and "Include in Navigation Menu" is also set to Yes for all categories. If still not work try to refresh cache even if is disabled, and indexes also. I hope that it will help you.

Search has stopped working for complete and partial SKUs on a site I am in the process of developing, this functionality has previously worked.
Diffing an older .SQL for the site when this worked I can't see any changes to core_config_data that would effect the site in this way.
Search is set to combined and like. SKUs are still searchable from the advanced search page.
Does anyone have any idea what tables that I should should be looking at for changes effecting search behavior? My hunch is that there is some backend change causing this.

Yep, it's catalogsearch_fulltext. Magento fills this table during partial and full reindex of "Catalog Search" index.
BTW, I think the problem is in the attribute's settings. Go to Admin Panel -> Catalog -> Attributes -> Manage attributes -> (chose SKU attribute) -> Use in Quick Search -> Value should be "Yes"
Delete all files under var/locks and then reindex.
Also be sure to check under "Product Information"->General->Visibility that it is set to "Catalog, Search" instead of just "Catalog". If you change settings, you may have to rebuild indexes and refresh cache.
In magento 1.6 i want to sort manually the categories order (categories - manage categories), when the page is ready, i do drag and drop whith the category but after ajax saved if i refresh the page the order change, i look around but i dont have find nothing.
I try also, tried to reindex data but nothing change, why dont work?
I had a similar problem with Magento PE a while back. One thing that helped us was to turn of automatic indexing. Under Admin -> System -> Index Management Click the "Select All" and choose "Change Index Mode". Select "Manual Update" and click Submit.
Go to the Catalog -> Manage Categories section again and move your categories around. Navigate away from the page then come back to ensure that they keep their locations. Go to the Index Management screen again and refresh everything.
When I was experiencing this problem in PE, I turned on sql query logging. Magento appeared to have much less database activity with the indexes set to "Manual Update" as opposed to "Update on Save".

In Magento I took and duplicated a theme and made a few changes to the second one. Called it recipes, removed the price, etc. All worked out fine except! When I add a related product it shows up and says "other featured products". This is what the old theme said.
After some research i am seeing it is pulling this file from the "app/design/frontend/base/template/catalog/product/list folder instead of the theme folder ?

Turn on template/path hints in your administration area:
System -> Config / Advanced -> Developer
This will show you exactly which template and block it belongs to. The product list template you are referring to just renders the products, it's possible the theme does not also include the header in that file.
Alternatively, a quick grep (or search via IDE if you are on Windows) for 'Other Featured Products' is a good solution, since that should be a fairly unique string.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction. I am not a Magento developer but am having to fix my site after my "developer" left me with most of the work to do.
Currently in my checkout screen i'm not seeing any values other than that of the actual product item value - no subtotals, discounts, shipping or the grand total. They all appear ok on the emails that are sent though (luckily).
I'm not using the default Magento package but from what i can see all the .phtml files seem to be there in the base directories and are not in my new design directories - so i would have assumed all would work ok. But alas, no. Is there anywhere i should be looking/tweaking etc etc? Have googled about as much as i can but to no avail.
I'm sure it must be something simple (!?) if all appear on the emails ok. Any ideas would be great!
I realise this is fairly old now but just in case anyone else comes across this I had this problem and for me all I had to do some enable the Mage_Tax module in System > Configuration > Advanced
It is difficult to answer your question without more insight, but here is what can be a starting point:
Login to your shop's admin panel.
In System menu click on Configuration.
From the Current Configuration Scope box select your Website.
Now in the menu on left-hand side under Configuration > Advanced (almost to the bottom of the screen)
Click on Developer
Now in the main panel, click on Debug.
For the field Template Path Hints select Yes.
Now reload your website (front-end) and you will see from which template is each part of the page being loaded.
Also if Magento's cache is enabled, you will need to clear that. I would suggest that this cache be disabled during development and/or on non-production versions of your site.
I have issue in installing & using Advanced Featured Products Extension(http://www.mage-world.com/advance-featured-products-magento-extension ).
I followed the readme.txt (copied the files and created attribute for featured items) in the module.
But when I got to Goto admin->system->configuration , I am supposed find “Featured Products” option.
But I could not see that in system -> configuration menu. I tried clearing the cache & log in again, but still the Admin menu for Featured products is not appearing.
Has anybody faced similar issue. Any solution for this.
Thanks.
A few guesses (on a general extension installation note):
Make sure that your file permissions are correct (make them match other working modules)
Verify that you have copied the module XML file into app/etc/modules/
Check in the backend under System -> Configuration -> Advanced for an entry for your module (it should be present and enabled)
Once this is the case, clear out all your magento caches
Log out and in (I know you tried this)
Hope that helps!
Thanks,
Joe
Sometimes, if you're using a memcache backend you need to click the 'flush cache storage' too.
