Almost forgot to say: IF YOU ARENT USING “link all variations”, then you will have the issue you are having. That is what fixed it for me- I just remembered. i was never linking the variations. I took the REAL hard way around and added them in one by little one. (hence why it took eight months to launch). I had to go back and redo them all. I think I forgot because thats a big “duh” in my head I wanted to block out. As soon as I used the “link variation” feature, then went back and just deleted the variation that I did not have, AND cleared history and cache and restarted my site- it worked fine.

Good luck.

Hi Detters,
I think we were both talking about two different things: for me, my store was showing variations of products that I didnt have AND allowing the customer to add it to the basket. For the life of me, I honestly do not remember HOW in the world I fixed this issue but I did. But- just last week, I did have the issue where “ADD TO CART” wasn’t showing up at ALL for me. It happened to be something inside of my theme. Actually, it was so dumb I almost fainted. My theme has an area where you can type in what you want the customer to see (what words) when the add to cart button shows up. I typed in add to cart- just like that. Four hours later…. ADD TO CART (all capitals) is what made the add to cart button come back.

OR are you saying that basically you can have a red pair of shoes and black pair of shoes. Red in size 5-10 and black in size 5-9. But it will SHOW black in size 10, and the customer just wont be able to add it to the cart? I was almost having the identical problem except it WAS letting customers add it to carts! Go back into your variations and open them up. There is a little check mark for “enable variation”. If you dont have a size or color, just uncheck that box. For me though, i THINK I solved the issue by updating woocommerce. I wish I remembered! Heck, I may have even forgot about it until just now when I got a message that you added a comment. I had to go rush to my site to make sure it was in fact working right-which it is. Looking at some of my products though, it looks like what I did was just delete the variation I did not have instead of unchecking enabling it. (disabling it, didnt do that, just deleted it)

Hope that helps
