Magento Search Not Finding Newly Created Products - php

Our server was recently moved and rebuilt (and that's when the issue began).
The search does find products, but only those that have been created (or been enabled) before the transfer. When I search in a category in the catalog, I can find the newly created/uploaded product. It just cannot seem to be accessed by Search.
We are using Magento 1.8.1 and the SPHINX extension (supported by mirasvit).

It seems like your product's Visibility is disabled. Check your Visibility of your product. Admin-> catalog -> Select that Product -> General -> Visibility
set value to Catalog, search.

If visibility is set to catalog/search, please check the product is enabled or disabled. Wile importing or exporting the products, it seems to change the status of the products.

I also think you can try by checking product visibility to see whether it has value Catalog, Search or not.

After backing up our server from a previous date, I was able to locate and eliminate the issue. It was regarding the cache that was created from the product, and it was being misplaced. Took hours of searching, but everything is working beautifully now. =)
Thank you all for trying to help.

Strange WooCommerce database related issue

I have a strange WooCommerce issue on one of my sites. It's a popular webshop with thousands of products. Most likely the issue is there for a long time but we just noticed it.
The problem: A lot of products are not showing up on the frontend. All of those are visible in the backend, all of them are live, all of those are in stock. So they should show up. Some of the store products are visible, some of them are not. There's no logic in this. BUT... if I just edit a missing product and just simply re-save it in the backend it shows up in the frontend right away.
Most likely the issue is related to the 2.x to 3.x database upgrade: "3.0.0 instroduces a new product visibility taxonomy; catalog, search, hidden, featured, outofstock are terms. These are set on upgrade and help filter products in the catalog during frontend queries."
My theory is that this database upgrade didn't finish at that time for some reason.
So the solution would be to run it again or to find an automatic way to emulate the "save" feature that I do manually if I edit and save a missing product in the backend. But the manual way is simply not an option when I have thousands of products.
I just want all available products to appear in the frontend too. Do you have any idea how can I solve this?
P.s: I have already tried switching back to a default theme and disabling every other plugin except WooCommerce. It's clearly a database related WooCommerce issue. And yes, I have the latest WP and the latest 3.x Woo. The PHP version is 7.2.
Thank you in advance!

Error in Reinxdeing in Magento

1.I m adding a configurable product in magento ,with some price and after adding sale tag over it for a particular duration it still shows up after the end of the date. Price is showing different on the page where all products are listed and different when I open it.
2.Sale product price do not update to back to normal after sale ends.
From call backtrace you can assume that OrganicInternet_SimpleConfigurableProducts is causing the issue. Module probably rewrote product price indexer model.
I have never seen this module before, so I can't provide anything further info. You should probably try disabling it and re-running the indexing.
As for the count column that's causing the issue, it was probably created by same module since it shouldn't exist out of the box.
Best of luck.

Magento 1.9 not able to save upsell/related/cross sell products

When I save a new product or edit an existing product in Magento everything saves correctly except upsell/related/cross sell products. Product is being saved with no errors. If I hit edit again the upsell product I selected before wasn't saved.
Submission completes with no errors (magento, php, mysql logs) no data from upsell,related or crosssell tabs is being saved.
I have run the magento database checker (corrupt vs reference) and it returned no errors. Have also run magento permission checker, still no joy. Have also disabled extensions.
Any ideas where I might look next? Thanks.
It turned out to be a conflict with the extension BL_CustomGrid.
Once this was disabled everything worked fine.
We solved it by updating max_input_vars value from 1000 to 5000 in PHP configuration.

Magento product variations (configurable products)

I have seen many different plugins and ways to configure Magento product variations, but I wasn't able to find a way to do the following out of the box or using some plugin (doesn't matter if its free or paid):
Have a look at the following Amazon URL:
http://www.amazon.ca/Seagate-Expansion-Desktop-External-STBV2000100/dp/B00834SJS0/
I would like when I select one of the options to go to the product variation selected (instead via AJAX like in the Amazon case, but same concept).
I would also like all the product variations listed in the store and search and have the ability to choose another variation from every other option: For example im in the 1 gig product, I will still see 2gig and 4gig with ability to switch and vice-versa.
Lastly I would like to hide the "base" product from everywhere, so I also have the final options displaying in the store, the base product can still be present in the backend as a pivot, but should be hidden from everywhere else.
Do you have a clue if there is something that does that out of the box or with very little modifications?
Good news for you :)
Look at this free module: Easylife_Switcher
https://github.com/tzyganu/Switcher
It also supports graying out options not in stock.
I use Simple Configurable Products on my store: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/simple-configurable-products.html.
Development seems to have stopped but there seem to be lots of users and you can find help on google. For example, the latest version doesn't work out of the box on CE 1.8 but there is a fix available.

Magento: displaying associated product's image on configurable product

I'd like to have my configurable product's image change when I select a different simple product using the dropdown in Magento. I've tried following this tutorial, but it has no effect at all (and no errors, fyi). Can anyone assist me in a finding a solution for this?
That tutorial works on the latest version of magento I recently used the same method to achieve that, you might want to try using the following module:
https://github.com/organicinternet/magento-configurable-simple
Among the many feature it adds changing the configurable product image its included.
Also if you want to use the tutorial method, I recommend that you:
Use firefox and install:
Firebug
FirePHP
FireLogger
Check for Javascript errors and use the Firebug Console to see if you are properly setting the js vars.
Magento CE 1.9 has default feature for it Check below Thread
Change product image for configurable products
For Prgramatically changing the image you can check Below Thread
How to change configurable product main image by associated product image based on color and size attributes?
You can also try this new module, does a lot more then scp
