Hello Ashley. I am a bit of a noob when it comes to magento, anyway I was messing around in the admin and I noticed that in the default category there was a product. anyway I couldnt understand why it was there so I went and removed it from the default category and for some reason that affected all of my featured products (15 of them) and are now not visible and to top this when I search for something it comes up with no “Your search returns no results”. I have no idea why the removal of this product has affected the featured products and the search but I went and put it back in the default directory and it is not working. Anyway the only way I have found that the featured products and the search will work now is if I add all 800 products to the default category as well. Could you please help me? the developer of this site is nowhere to be found and I have spent many hours trying to find a solution. Thank you very much

By chance do you know how to customize the sort order (position) for a category that has subcategories? I have a Category of “Show All” with “Dozen” and “Monthly” as subcategories. The products in the subcategories seem to be sorting correctly based on my changing the position. The Show All top level category is not sorting properly (changed Position within Show All). I can’t quite tell how the positioning is being determined for Show All. Thanks!

Thanks for these tips. New to Magento and the sub-categories of the default thing threw me off.
