Products not showing in collection -Expanse Theme

Topic summary

A Shopify store owner encountered an issue where only 2 of 12 products in a collection were displaying on the live site when accessed through the main menu, despite all products showing correctly in the Shopify admin’s collection view.

Key Details:

  • Products displayed correctly on the homepage collection section
  • Same issue occurred in a separate category
  • Admin view showed all 12 products, but frontend showed only 2

Resolution:

  • A support member suggested checking navigation settings and requested store URL/password for deeper investigation
  • The original poster resolved the issue by correcting the URL redirect in the Navigation main menu settings
  • Issue appears to have been a navigation configuration problem rather than a theme bug

Hi, I appreciate your help.

On in Shopify - Products - Collections, I have 12 products. From the top “view” on the collection page, the website view displays all 12 products. When viewed from the live or customize theme view when using the main menu, there are only 2 products displayed.

In a separate category, same scenario but no products show.

I have a collections section in the middle of the home page and all the products show if that is used.

Is it a bug? or What am I missing?

Thanks,

Darla

Hi @LB143

Can you please provide some more details so that we can look into this.

It may be the case you have not added those in navigation

Or there may be some other issue

Please provide store url and password as well if password protected to look deeper into the issue

Thanks!

I redirected the URL in Navigation - main menu… again (LOL) and I finally figured it out. Thank you.
