Magento2: Issues with duplicate simple product

Question

I have duplicate a simple product.

The original simple product has:

• SKU: pld942

• URL: pld942.html

after duplicate:

• SKU: pld942-1

• URL: pld942-1.html

I set in duplicate product:

• enable
• weight
• qty
• in stock
• and then save and reindex

Still I not see this product. When I put url with duplicate product then 404 not found.

Any solution?

Answer 1

Just as part of diagnosing the issue, I would advise starting by saving the duplicate product before making any changes. Then make changes. See if this changes anything.

On the frontend. I would advise adding the product to a category/and or searching for it, and seeing if it appears, just in case it's a URL rewrite issue.
