All products are not showing on home page in magento

Question

I have to display all products on Home page in magento. I am using below code.

{{block type="catalog/product_list" name="home.catalog.product.list" alias="product_homepage" template="catalog/product/new_list.phtml"}}

This code is not working for me. I got error There are no products matching the selection..

When I try to use root category id in this code then I can see only one product not all.

{{block type="catalog/product_list" name="home.catalog.product.list" alias="products_homepage" category_id="3" template="catalog/product/new_list.phtml"}} 

Somebody can help me How can I display all my products on my magento home page.

Answer 2

Goto admin/manage category and in the root category 'Is Anchor" must be must be selected to "yes".
