It is, but earlier today I found the answer to a different problem in a 3 year old post that someone else had recently revived with the answer to the original problem. Might be why old threads don't get deleted.
If you go to the product in the admin, you can view it. If you click on preview as admin, you can see the product just fine too. But, if you just click on preview, you get a 404 page.
So basically the product is there, it is active, in stock, everything is all good, but yet you can't see it as a regular customer.
