Fix "No products were found matching your selection" message

If you are receiving a No products found which match your selection or No products were found matching your selection error message when viewing your product categories, here are a few things to check/do:

1

Check Default Product Sorting

If you have set your Default Product Sorting to Popularity (sales), you need to change that to something else. You can do that here: WordPress Admin Area > WooCommerce > Settings > Products > Display > Default Product Sorting.

2

Clear Caches

If you are using any caching plugins, be sure to clear all caches before viewing your category pages. It's common for a category page to get cached before products have been added to the category.

3

Clear Counts

Sometimes category counters are out of sync. To solve this go here WordPress Admin Area > WooCommerce > System Status > Tools and click the first 3 buttons on that page. That will reset the counters.

4

Check that Products Exist

Do the categories which are not appearing on your site have products in them? You can check that by going here WordPress Admin Area > Products > Categories and looking under the " Count" column to see how many products are in any given category.

5

Check Product Set Categories

Have you configured your Product Sets to import into WooCommerce categories? More specifically, have you picked at least 1 WooCommerce category for your Product Set to import into on the edit Product Set page. If you select a new WooCommerce category or change the category, you must update (Bump) your Product Set for the new changes to take effect.
