Magento layered nav attributes not showing

Question

I'm using drop-down attributes and setting them with 'Use in Layered Navigation' but there not appearing.

Any sugesstions why?!

Solution 1

Think Ive sussed it out IsAnchor=Yes needs to be turned on directly for the category with products in...

Is there a bulk upload that can be used to import / create these attributes?

Solution 2

1. Click on category->display setting-> Is anchor set to "Yes".
2. Open attriboue and set layered navigation -> yes.
3. If still not working, reindex from system->index management

Solution 3

When in doubt, clear the cache and rebuild the indexes.

Solution 4

Layered navigation must be enabled in attribute options and category "Is anchor" option must be set to "Yes". And it works just fine.

How do you check to see layered navigation is enabled, I've tried Is Anchor=Yes and switched it on for the attributes nothing!

Superb, even though Magento wasn't asking for a reindex, it still fixed it
