Magento: Recently Viewed Products

Magento: Recently Viewed Products

The recently viewed products that you had working previously have all of a sudden stopped appearing. This problem has hit me several times over the last year and each time I have had to rediscovered the solution. So this time I have decided to blog it so I don't forget.

Problem:
The recently viewed products have disappeared, or they have stopped appearing.

Solution:
This usually happens when you have either added, removed or sometimes even modified a product. The SOLUTION is to re-index all of the indexes. If that doesn't work, then flush all the caches. After that if it still doesn't work, use everyone's good friend Google (there are other search engines available also).

  2. Thanks so much for posting this as I have spent the last 2 hours trying to get recently viewed products to display and because I am quite new to Magento I thought it was something I was doing wrong. Reindexing everything made the recently viewed products show up immediately! Thanks again, really really!
