Magento2 products not showing up in store

Question

I am brand new to Magento. I've gone through tutorials on how to add products, both simple and configurable, but I'm running into snags. Only one category is showing up on my dummy web site. I've checked all I can think of. I have inventory, pricing, and have enable product = yes — they are just not showing up. However, when I search for the product, it comes up in a search, and it's visible in my search results. Visibility is set to Catalog/Search. I'm totally stumped. Any ideas why I can't see my products? Thanks a bunch!

Answer 1

Do You have flat tables enabled?

If so, can You see products in database flat table catalog_product_flat ?

Most likely You need to reindex data.

Open your terminal and paste:

php bin/magento indexer:reindex
