I just noticed that when I uncheck "Published:" from a product, it disappears from my inventory and I can not run a report on all products, the product reports is only showing Published products.
Anyone have an idea why?
The only way to get the products back in the web admin is by going into the SQL MGMT Studio and changing the product published from false to true.
Yeah this is the issue. If I got to a product and edit it. Uncheck the "Published" buttton. I can no longer find the product when I search for it by name. Also that product no longer is in a product export when going to Products --> Manage Products --> export to excel.
This seems a little odd to me because I would think the "Published" button would be meant to just unpublish the product from showing on the website, not from totally disappearing from the "export to excel" feature and any other reporting from the administration portion of the website.
The only way I can find the product is through the SQL admin..
