static block doesn't show products in Magento 1.9.2.4

Question

i need to show products in static block, but it's not display any product. when i write any content in static block then the content will appears. But category product will not display. I need to show product with pagination toolbar. I tried with the code: {{block type="catalog/product_list" name="product_list" category_id="5" column_count="4" count="6" limit="4" mode="grid" toolbar_block_name="product_list_toolbar" template="catalog/product/list.phtml"}}

Answer 1

You have to add "catalog/product_list" to the permissions: [ System > Permissions > Blocks ], otherwise the block won't show up.

Answer 2

You might be adding the code in Visual mode in the static block. You need to add that code in text mode. You can do that on clicking the Show / Hide Editor and paste the code.

Answer 3

CE 1.9.2.2 includes all the changes from the recent-patch SUPEE-6788, one of which was restrict the blocks that can be used in CMS blocks, pages, emails (etc...) by default.

You can whitelist them through the admin under System > Permissions > (Blocks | Variables).

I hope this will work for you.
