How do I change the Woocommerce Sold Out Message?

@endalldisease1
try this one here

add_filter('woocommerce_get_availability', 'availability_filter_func');
function availability_filter_func($availability)
{
$availability['availability'] = str_ireplace('Out of stock', 'Coming Soon!', $availability['availability']);
return $availability;
}

Hi @endalldisease1!

In addition to the code @braehler gave you, please ensure you are adding the code to your site the correct way, as per:

Cheers!

Hey thanks for the reply!
I just pasted the code you gave me into code snippets and nothing seems to have changed.

I cleared my cache, waited some time and did a hard refresh. I even tested it in another browser and the message remains the same.

Your advice would be appreciated.

Hi @endalldisease1!

OK, try this code:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_availability', 'wcs_custom_get_availability', 1, 2);
function wcs_custom_get_availability( $availability, $_product ) {
    
    // Change In Stock Text
    if ( $_product->is_in_stock() ) {
        $availability['availability'] = __('Available!', 'woocommerce');
    }
    // Change Out of Stock Text
    if ( ! $_product->is_in_stock() ) {
        $availability['availability'] = __('Sold Out', 'woocommerce');
    }
    return $availability;
}

Ah man that one didn’t work either. The message remains the same:

Just Sold Out. Expect to come in 4-6 days.

Any other ideas?

@endalldisease1

Try to figure out, if you can translate this from the pot file

What do you mean @braehler ?

@endalldisease1 I believe they were referring to translating with something like Loco Translate or Say What?.

Being that your out of stock message is saying, “Just Sold Out. Expect to come in 4-6 days.” it sounds like something else other than WooCommerce is adding this message. I would recommend installing String Locator and searching for that test in the plugins and theme to see where it may be coming from.

Thanks for the reply, Jesse!
I went and installed string locator, like you suggested, but where to access and use that program is nowhere to be found on my dashboard.

Any suggestions?

@endalldisease1 The option to use the plugin is under Tools > String Locator ??

We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved. If you have any further questions, a new thread can be opened.
