How do I get my products to show in the “all products” page?
The “All Products” page is set to display all products that belong to your store root catalog. So in order to have your products show on that page, you’ll have to make sure they are set in the admin to belong to the store root category, in addition to whatever else category they belong to. That’s it!
Of course don’t forget to clear your Magento cache and re-index all data 
.
Once you know your way around Magento well, you can customize your installation and use Ultimento’s “All Products” feature in many different ways. For example:
- Use it to link to featured products, products that are on sale, or top sellers
- Use it to list products that belong to another sub-store in your Magento installation
- And any other idea that comes to your mind!
How do I remove the Browse All Products functionality?
It’s easy . The button is part of the Magento template file that controls the breadcrumbs. Here’s the step by step:
1. Open this file:
app/design/frontend/default/ultimento/template/page/html/breadcrumbs.phtml
2. Delete lines 47-52. That’s all!
Alternatively you can rename “breadcrumbs.phtml” to “breadcrumbs.back.phtml” and Magento will fall back to the template file in the base folder which doesn’t have the “Browse All Products” button.
The “Browse All Products” button on the home page is part of the CMS home page which you can easily edit.
Our “All Products” feature seems to have stopped working.
We made sure that all our products are in the Root Category, and the Root Category is assigned to the store.
When clicking on the “Browse All Products” buttons the page comes up without results.
Thanks for your help
That’s really weird… what did you do that made it stop working? You didn’t delete the “Browse All Products” CMS page in the admin by any chance?
Hi, I figured it out. The reason it isn’t working is because the call to the block(?) has the category hardcoded in it. So if you change your root category after the install, it won’t work.
Thanks for responding so quickly
Hi Dante – in fact the Browse All Products page is set dynamically by Ultimento’s 1-click auto-installer. It dynamically takes the store root category. But yes if you migrate later to another installation which has a different root category then you’ll need to update the Browse All Products Magento CMS page. Good catch!
Thanks,
Noam.
How do you remove the all products button. The menu drop downs overlap it.

Hi Noam,
all-products page not working on my site lensvault.com.
did not gel any clue why? Please help me.
Thanks

Hi Raja – it looks like you deleted the “All Products” CMS page in your Magento admin (as well as all the other CMS pages that come built-in with Ultimento).
To restore the pages you can simply run Ultimento’s 1-click auto-installer on a new store view where Ultimento is not installed. Then navigate to your Magento admin under
CMS > Manage Pagesand add your live Store View scope to the CMS pages you want to use.Hi Noam,
Thanks for reply.
Please can you elaborate step by step little bit ? as i am new on Magento.
Thanks

Hi – the All Products page is not working on my end. Kindly check it out! http://121.241.123.82:9040/all-products
Hi Shweta – you should setup your Magento installation on a root directory and you’ll avoid all problems and issues. Magento doesn’t like the URL structure you are using and it’s causing problems.
Currently this is where the “All Products” page is setup on your store: http://121.241.123.82:9040/Promolocker/Promolocker/index.php/all-products as you can see Ultimento’s features are all working perfectly but your Magento installation is incorrect.
Here’s what I recommend you do:
1. Setup a new URL and have it point to your current Magento installation (so you can point it to the exact same place on your server). The URL can be anything you want dev.your-sepcial-url.com or my-dev-url.com – anything as long as it doesn’t have a sub directory (i.e. url.com/sub-directory/ isn’t an optimum setting for a Magento installation).
2. Once the DNS propagates and your new URL is pointing correctly, navigate to your Magento admin under
System > Configuration > Web > Unsecureand change the value for “Base URL” to your new domain. So it will look something like this: “http://dev.your-special-url.com/” (don’t forget the “http://” and the trailing slash).That will solve all your problems present and future!
Hi Noam,
when I add new product into catalog, however the front end doesn’t show the product. I wonder why?
I did
enable the product
flush the cache
re-index the pages.

Hi Allen – do you mean that your products don’t show up at all on your Magento site? If so most likely you didn’t set them up properly in the admin. For example you want to make sure that the products are set as “enabled” and that the inventory settings are also correct.
For more info on how to setup your Magento catalog I’d recommend going through the Magento User Guide and becoming familiar with the platform
.
Ok…I’ve looked through all the comments and suggestions. Found this one that may relate to me, but I don’t know how to do this…
“But yes if you migrate later to another installation which has a different root category then you’ll need to update the Browse All Products Magento CMS page. Good”
The All Products cms page is in my magento… What do I do?
Hi Louis – sorry I don’t understand the question. What do you do what? What seems to be the problem?
Let me know and I’ll do my best to help
.
Ok. here goes:
1. I set up my main root category and then I put 3 sub root categories.
2. I made sure my products are also check marked in the root categories.
3. I added the products to the corresponding sub root categories
4. All of the above also are marked as Enabled
5. The cms page “All products” is there and enabled
6. The “Browse all products” link is visible in all pages.
7. When the link is clicked it takes you to an “All products” page with the following error:
All Products
There are no products matching the selection.
I’ve looked through the discussion pages and have not found one that has all these issues present. The “Browse all products” link was working until I upgraded to Ultimento 2, and set the products to “new” with a calendar date so that they would appear in the home page under “New arrivals”…
Hi Louis – did you make sure to refresh all Magento caches and re-index all data? If it’s still not working feel free to send your FTP and Magento admin info via the help desk and we’ll take a look
.
Noam,
To the remove Browse All Products instructions please add that line 2 & 3 of ultimentotheme\template\page\cms\home-bottom.phtml needs to be removed.

David
Hi, our magento is not in the root folder and the browse all products products button pushes me back to root. Tried introducing the store path before the /all-products in the link, see below, but it does not link to anything now:
Browse All Products >
Might this be a bug? Please advice
Hi Chris – it’s not recommended to run Magento on a sub-folder installation – it’s a much better practice to use a root folder. So for example you could use store.url.com instead of url.com/store. Even though both can point to the same location on your server, the former is a much better practice for Magento.
And yes at the moment if you run your Magento installation from a sub-directory you will have to change the “Browse All Products” link manually. A fix for that is included in the next version of Ultimento so make sure to stay tuned!
Thanks Noam,
It is however the case that we run more stores out of the same first level domain, so the slash/folder is needed to my understanding. The folder name is the same with the store code value in our case. So, could you please quote a patch solution at present to include in the breadcrumbs file which can reference the store code value before the browse-all link?
Hi Chris – we’re working as fast as we can to release the next version which will also include the fix for this but in the meantime you can manually update the link in the following file:
app/design/frontend/default/ultimento/template/page/html/breadcrumbs.phtmlAs for the link on the home page, it’s part of the CMS home page which you can easily edit.
Hi, I have removed most of the links to the “All-Products” page (because my various categories are very different). However, I would like a fail-safe option, to redirect any traffic going to /all-products, to land on another category page. I have tried setting up a URL redirect in the Catalog menu, but it doesn’t seem to work – I used a custom type, and ID path = “just some text”, request path = “/all-products”, target path=”/my-category.html”. Going to /all-products, just shows the the empty category (because I haven’t associated products to the root category).
I’ve looked at the Root category settings, and there is no URL Key option.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi Travis – the “Browse All Products” link is only present on the template in the breadcrumbs and in some CMS pages. So if you’ve edited the CMS pages to reflect your own content and have removed the Browse All Products link from the breadcrumbs then you should be all set! Here’s more info on the All Products functionality and links.
Still though you can add this line in the
.htaccessfile that’s in your Magento root directory:redirect 301 /all-products http://www.yourwebsite.com/new-directoryThat’s just one way to do it
. Hope this helps!
THANK YOU! Omg SEOMOZ reported the all products page over 4000 times as duplicate content!
