Answer 1

对于要显示的类别，您必须同时将Is Active = Yes Include in Navigation Menu = Yes设置Is Active = Yes Include in Navigation Menu = Yes ，一旦类别可见，您就可以访问与其相关的产品，但要检查产品是否已enabled, Instock, Quantity assigned, related to categories

Answer 2

Go to Manage Cateogories, select the specific category. - In General Informatiob tab find 'include in navigation' and 'is active', mark them 'yes'.

In next tab 'Display settings' find 'is Anchor', mark it yes as well.

Answer 3

You often can check if a product is visible to the shop at all by visiting

http://yourshop.com/catalog/product/view/id/5

where 5 is the id of your product. If you can see it go on and check the relation to the category, otherwise take a look at the visibility settings and status of your product.

Answer 4

您需要确保创建的类别是Magento的Default / Root类别的子类别，即，创建的类别应具有一个向上一级的类别，而其本身不应是根类别。
