Products aren't showing in created collections

[bokettowellness]

I have read every Q on this same topic. I created a series of collections, added it to the navigation and used a direct link to each collection. And nope. The products I placed aren't loading. I followed every protocol:

Made sure all collections were active in Sales Channels
Made collections were available on the individual Collections page
Used a direct link in Navigation to its respective Collection as well as...
Linked using the Collection in the dropdown
I updated Navigation after going through all these steps.

I'm at my wits end.

Help. Please.

If my suggestions is helpful to you, please let me know by giving a like or marking it as a solution.

Can you share your store URL?

Which theme are you using?

Make sure your theme has a product-list section in the collection layout.

Check whether you have added any conditions for the collections like list all products with a specific tag or so. If the condition fails the products won't be added to the collection.

Make sure you have added the correct collection links/handles to the navigation bar. Another possibility is that your products aren't set to be available in the Online Store. You can check that within the product pages itself.

Open the product page, and see whether you have selected "Online store" under the "Product availability" section on the right side of the product page.

UPDATE! So When I switched the collection page's banner/layout to "no image" from "default" that made it load. I have NO idea why this made a difference. If anyone has an idea why, great, bring it. I'd love to know. Because all suggestions in Flare AI were ones I listed I tried and going through them again netted me out the same. No where.  I'm all set now with this work-around, but regretfully the banner on my collection page isn't an image.
