A lot of people ask how they display products on the home page or any CMS page.  This is typically to display ‘Featured Products’, ‘Special Offers’, or ‘Most Popular’ for example.  Simply create the relevant category using the Admin -> Catalog -> Categories interface, and add the products you want to display to the category.  Remember that a product can be associated to multiple categories.

The easiest and most universal solution is to add the following code on the page where you want the products to appear.

{{block type="catalog/product_list" template="catalog/product/list.phtml" catagory_id="10"}}

Replace “category_id” with whatever category you want to display.  You can get the category ID from the Admin -> Catalog -> Categories page.  Select the category you want to display and you’ll find the ID shown at the top of the page.

Category ID: Admin -> Catalog -> Categories
