In WooCommerce there is an option to hide the product when it is out of stock using ‘Hide out of stock items from the catalog‘ checkbox in WooCommerce setting page. It works fine for variable products as long as number of variation is within certain limit, if the variation is more than the limit it doesn’t hide it.

I have observed that it works fine for a product when no. of variation is 24. But when I change the no. of variation to 48, it has stopped working. Although I don’t know the exact upper limit beyond which it doesn’t work.

For example, I have a product variant ‘color = red’ and ‘size = 34B’. If that product is out of stock then when user select ‘red’ color in single product page, the size 34B should be disable/cross-marked. This happen when no. of variation is 24. But when I change the no. of variation to 48, it doesn’t work. When user select ‘red’ & ’34B’, then it says ‘out of stock‘.

Is it an issue from WooCommerce plugin side ? Is there any hook to avoid that limitation ?

WordPress version –> 6.0.3
WooCommerce version –> Version 7.1.1

Thanks !!!

Note : It is also observed that the below event is used to disable/cross-marked/hide-out the variation, however it doesn’t work when variation is large:

$( ".variations_form" ).on( "woocommerce_variation_has_changed", function () {…});

Hi there @eorsavik

Thank you for reaching out about this:

‘Hide out of stock items from the catalog’ does not work in WooCommerce

Just to clarify, the variable products in your WooCommerce store are added after following the instructions in the official documentation, linked here, while for changing the Limit on Number of Variations for Dynamic Variable Product Dropdowns, this document was followed. Correct?

For testing this, I went ahead with adding a variable product, with 48 variations, in a test installation of mine. I am glad to report that everything worked as expected, from creating the product, to adding its variations, to setting its stock to zero and see it disappear from the front-end, while previously it was available.

WordPress version –> 6.0.3
WooCommerce version –> Version 7.1.1

Kindly note that the latest available version for WordPress is 6.1.1, and that of WooCommerce 7.3.0, at the time of writing this. These were the software versions used in my testing this functionality.

Feel free to go ahead with creating a backup and, subsequently, updating all software to its latest version, before checking if the issue persists still.

If it does, to help you further, I’d like to understand more about your setup.

Could you please send me a copy of your site’s System Status? You can find it via WooCommerce > Status. Select Get system report and then Copy for support.

Once you’ve done that, you can paste the text in https://gist.github.com/, or https://pastebin.com/, and feel free to change/remove your site URL in the report for privacy reasons.

You can paste the Gist/Pastebin link here in your reply, once you have that.

Looking forward to your response. Thank you. ??

Thank you. It works perfectly fine now.

I was not aware of the filter ‘woocommerce_ajax_variation_threshold’. It solved my problem.

Much appreciated !!!
