• Over the last 1-2 months something has changed regarding stock management and backorders. We have a clothing store with many products and variations with inventory for each variation. We have never allowed backorders, and have all settings in place to disable backorders. In the last few weeks we’ve started to receive backorder emails every day similar to:

    X units of Y have been backordered in order #Z

    I have confirmed that stock management is enabled for each variation and that backorders are disabled. We also added this snippet, but it didn’t work:

    add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_backorders_allowed', '__return_false' );

    What has changed recently and how do we fix it? Thank you.

    Hello @razorfrog,

    If I understand you correctly, the back-order settings for variations are not being respected.

    I wasn’t able to replicate this on my test site as you can see below, the product can’t be added to the cart.

    Could you please share 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, paste it here in your response.

    It’s also worth checking if there are any fatal error logs from WooCommerce > Status > Logs and choosing from the drop-down menu the fatal-errors.log option.

    Look forward to hearing back from you.

    I can’t replicate it either from “Add to Cart” – however the orders are still coming in. These are products that haven’t been in stock for weeks.

    System Report below. Nothing in the error logs.

    Hi @razorfrog

    Thanks for sharing the requested information above.

    I am unable to replicate the issue on my personal site as well.

    Can you please try to switch to the default Storefront theme and only WooCommerce plugin is enabled, try to backorder the same out-of-stock product and see if this works?

    If so, then this kind of problem is usually caused by your theme or a third-party plugin present on your site. We can run a conflict test to verify this. I’d recommend cloning your site to a staging environment and performing the tests described on this guide without modifying your live site or impacting customers. Many hosts provide staging facilities, so it’s worth checking in with them. It’s also possible to do it using the free WP Staging plugin.

    If this was caused by a third-party plugin present on your site, it would be best to reach out to the developers for further assistance here.

    If this did not resolve the issue, please provide the fatal error logs (if any) under WooCommerce > Status > Logs.

    You could copy and paste your reply here or paste it via https://gist.github.com/ and send the link here.

    Let us know how it goes!

    Hello – as mentioned above, I cannot replicate the issue myself by adding out of stock items to the cart. We simply receive orders for out of stock items – I’m not sure how the orders are placed. This makes it very difficult to troubleshoot, and makes testing with different themes, plugins, staging less useful.

    How else could the orders be coming in if the normal “add to cart” functionality blocks them correctly?

    Have you reached out to these customers as to how they were able to place an order for these out-of-stock items? That, could be a good starting point to troubleshoot as you’re unable to replicate the issue on your end.

    Hi there!

    We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to go ahead and mark this thread as resolved. If you have any other questions please start a new thread.

    Thanks!
