On my Products page; the "Short Description" does NOT want to display.

I think the short description can be set not to show in the includes file

I checked the includes file and found nothing wrong. Am I not seeing it?

This is what controls that - $productpagelayout='productimage, productname, manufacturer, instock, description, price';

However, you might have that set in the products.php page itself and that would override what's in the includes. So check there.

And; there it was. I was experimenting with the products page an d I forgot to remove 6 lines of code that was there.

Thanx,
Brian

That's good news. Looking at your product page, I think you could really benefit from a flexbox layout https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=107608 if you wanted to improve that a bit.
