Hide out of stock products when using ‘sorting’ in category

Hello @jonasojczyk ??

Please help me figure out how to hide out of stock products from shop/category ONLY when using sorting/ordering option ‘sort after price: low/high’ and ‘popularity’ option.

I understood that you only want to hide the out-of-stock products, when a user orders the products using the option Sort by popularity or Sort by price: low to high, but not when selecting any of the other options.

While this is technically possible, it’s a fairly complex development topic. I’m going to leave it open for a bit to see if anyone can chime in to help you out.

I can also recommend <a href=”https://developer.woocommerce.com/&#8221; rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>the Woo Developer Resources Portal</a> for resources on developing for woo.name.

You can also visit the <a href=”https://www.facebook.com/groups/advanced.woocommerce/&#8221; rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>WooCommerce Facebook group</a> or the #developers channel of the <a href=”https://woo.url/community-slack/&#8221; rel=”noopener” target=”_blank”>Woo Community Slack</a>. We’re lucky to have a great community of open-source developers for Woo, and many of our developers hang out there as well.

Hi,
I have asked on Facebook and Slack.

@jonasojczyk I hope someone there will be able to assist you on this particular issue.

Add this PHP code to the end of your child themes functions file or custom code snippets plugin.

add_action( 'woocommerce_product_query', 'wpsites_hide_out_of_stock_products_on_specific_sorting', 10, 2 );
function wpsites_hide_out_of_stock_products_on_specific_sorting( $query ) {

    if ( ! is_admin() && $query->is_main_query() && is_shop() || is_product_category() ) {
    
        $orderby = isset( $_GET['orderby'] ) ? wc_clean( wp_unslash( $_GET['orderby'] ) ) : '';

        if ( in_array( $orderby, array( 'price', 'popularity' ) ) ) {
        
            $query->set( 'meta_query', array_merge( $query->get( 'meta_query' ), array(
                array(
                    'key'     => '_stock_status',
                    'value'   => 'instock',
                    'compare' => '='
                )
            ) ) );
        }
    }
}

Hi Brad,

Your code works great, but can you make it so that ‘Sort by price: high to low’ (?orderby=price-desc) hides out-of-stock products also? ??
