Blur and Cross without enabling Hide out of stock items

Asim Bhuta

Hi,

I was wandering if there was a way for blur and cross to work without the need to enable ‘hide out of stock products from the catalog’.

This is important for us as we need the parent products to show on the catalogue and shop pages albeit with the sold out badge when all variations of that product are out of stock.

If it can be done we would move forward with a purchase as our current variation plugin by xplodedthemes has stopped working as expected and there is no estimated time for a fix from their developers.

Best wishes,

Hello Asim Bhuta,

Thanks for reaching to us.

You want to show workable out-of-stock swatches on the archive/catalog page. Right?

Using our PRO version you can do that. For more about Out of stock feature you can visit this documentation.

By the way, stay safe and take care of your family. Hopefully, Covid-19 outbreak will end up soon.

Thanks

Hi,

 

No that is not what I am asking.

 

Currently the blur and cross on the variable product page only works if in the WooCommerce settings the ‘hide out of stock items from catalog’ is enabled. This setting hides parent products from the catalog page if all variants are out of stock. We cannot let this happen.

 

We need the blur and cross to work on the product pages and show out of stock parent products on the shop catalog page. We will not be using swatches on the catalog page. Only the product page.

 

Hope this is clear.

 

Best wishes,

So, here is a screencast for better understanding. Please check this and I hope you wanted something like this. If yes, you can do this using our PRO plugin.

Hi,

 

Thanks for the screencast, but we want the blur and cross to work. You have shown that it doesn’t work and ‘out of stock’ is shown only when options are selected. We want options to be blurred and crossed out.

 

best wishes,

Hello Asim,

I have disabled that option for that screencast.

In PRO version you will have these options. Here is another screencast here I have demonstrated both free and Pro version out-of-stock feature. For the Pro version please play the screencast from 43 seconds.

Thanks

Hi Hakik,

Yes, this answers my question. We have gone ahead and made the purchase. Thank you.

FYI – Our chosen settings are:

Disable the ‘hide out of stock products from catalog’ in woocommerce settings/inventory.
Check ‘Disable out of stock attribute variations’.

Thank you,

 

Asim
