Did you use [loop-next] inside of any loop tag like [tag each
products...] or [loop search=..] or....?

----snipp------
[loop-next]tags[/loop-next]
     Evaluates the output of the MiniVend tags encased inside, and if it
evaluates to a numerical non-zero number (i.e. 1, 23, or -1) then the
loop will be skipped
     with no output. Example: 

           [loop-next][calc][loop-field weight] < 1[/calc][/loop-next]

     If this is contained in your [loop list] and the product's weight
field is less than 1, then a numerical 1 will be output from the
[calc][/calc] operation.
     The item will not be shown.
