I’ve been going through both Hidden and Needs Optimizing, and I’m finding a number of products that, by all rights, should be hidden. The most startling one was 2-1/2 years since having been viewed, and yet it was public. Has anyone else been finding this?
I believe I figured it out. Some days ago, I did an entire batch of hidden products by check marking them and turning them public, choosing the worst offenders. Doing this apparently doesn’t get rid of the red title or optimizing-needed symbol. To accomplish this, we have to do an Edit Details on the product page.
Sigh. My hopes had been up for a (very) short time that Zazzle had decided to stop hiding our products.

It’s a constant battle dealing with products that need optimization.

Yes, and not only is it a constant battle, but it can lead to sales not made that we don’t even know about, something I thought about only a few hours ago when I made a large sale on a postcard I designed several years ago and that had no action at all until today. I must have blessedly “renewed” it during my last round of dealing with the hidden wallflowers.

edit details triggers it most of the time, but not always. Moody servers? Indexers taking naps?

Indeed. When the views and indexing are not working, which unfortunately happens frequently, there is no way to “revive” “outdated” listings … It would be great if the time frame would be extended!
