Category block, layered navigation and products not displayed on Category pages in PS 1.6.0.14

[jorge911]

In 1.6.0.14 I create a copy of the default-bootstrap theme using the add theme button and indicating the number of products per page as 12.

 

The default-bootstrap works perfectly but when I change to the copy (without any modification whatsoever) the categories page stop displaying the categories block, the layered navigation and it doesn't display any products from the subcategories (when on the default theme was displaying over 2000).

 

I attach how it looks in the default theme and how it looks on the copy of the default theme.

 

There is a slightly similar question here:

https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/312183-products-not-displayed-on-category-pages-in-ps-1603/

but there the solution was to indicate a number of products per page and I'm doing it, so that does not seem to be my problem.

 

What can be producing this?

How can I fix it?

 

Thanks!

PS: I have it installed locally.

Ok, I feel a bit ashamed because the solution was right in front of my face. When adding a new theme I had choose yes on "Default Left Column" (and probably also for "Default Right Column"). That is why the left column was not on the category page.

 

I have to say that it misslead me the fact that the category page was counting 0 products and not showing them below, just because there was no "Default Left Column". Shouldn't products be displayed even if there is no left column?

 

I leave here the answer just in case someone else find it useful.
