Cannot seem to locate any products on the homepage either for best sellers for tab products.

[kamran12]

In magento at my home page i have added the the product block

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

{{block type="catalog/product_list" name="home.catalog.product.list" alias="products_homepage" category_id="2" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

And i have added two products with different categories moreover included both the products into a default_category (id:2)

But still i am getting that message so how can i display the products on my home page. I have set the quantity to 5 and 15. Still i dont get those products.

Flushed cached and Re-Indexed them

Looking for help ? Thanks in advance

@kamran12 Your syntax is correct but problem is you need to add permission for your block. After patch, SUPEE-6788, Magento includes a white list of allowed blocks or directives. 

You need to allowed blocks in System > Permissions > Blocks

Block Name - catalog/product_list

Status     - Allowed
