Go to your CMS->pages, select your home page and paste this block in the content:

{{block type="catalog/product_list" name="home.catalog.product.list" alias="products_homepage" category_id="Your_category_id" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

Go to your CMS->pages, select your home page and paste this block in the content:

{{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="category_id_to_show" column_count="number_of_columns" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

category_id_to_show: Go to Catalog -> Manage Categories, select the one you want to show on your home_page, and put your id on the block.

number_of_columns: How many columns you want to show

Hope this helps ;)

Go to Catalog ->Manage categories, from the left select category and when you select category you will see the magento ID of that category, and in home page editor write

{{block type="catalog/product_list" category_id="IdYOURCategory" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}.

Also be sure that category is not empty.

Even for correct category id also you get same message. Then do the following:

  1. Go to system >> index management and reindex the all indexes.
  2. system >> cache management click on flush magento cache then you will get products.

If your new in this magento, this might help you .

In phtml file test.phtml

$collection = Mage::getModel('catalog/product')->getCollection();    
$collection->addAttributeToSelect('orig_price');

Get the collection by the required attribute. Then,

{{block type="core/template" template="catalog/product/test.phtml"}}

Use this code it will definitely work, :)

If you get this message it means that there are no products in category with id=3...

Remove the category_id part in your code and magento should show all products.
