Posting here to second this, I would also like to see this changed or have the option to show out-of-stock and disabled variation status immediately upon load.

It feels like poor UX to set an initial expectation that a product could be purchased, and then reveal that it is actually out-of-stock or disabled (or back-ordered too, I assume). This can be dissapointing to users and confusing to non-tech savvy users.

Are there any plans to make this change? Or any PHP functions that could be added as a workaround? Thank you.

Thank you for confirming! I’m utalizing a workaround for the time being, by placing everything ito a Wrapper block to which I applied the Kadence CSS classes, but I’m certain the direct method wil be better. I’ll watch for fixes, thank you.

Yes, they are working for me currently as well. This happened before. I don’t know what triggers the fix OR what retriggers the problem. Extremely frustrating to say the least! I recognize that this is the free version of the theme, but a week response time makes it difficult for you to experience what I do, when the problem is sporadic like this. Kadence has been my agency’s new go-to theme, but this does little to build confidence in going Pro. ??

As for cache, I never got an answer to my above question. When the site was in dev, there as no caching plugin installed and I cleared browser cache several times. Is there some other cache to clear? Can you please be extremely specific when you mean “All caches” beyond the above? Do I need to go to my sysadmin about a server side cache? We run our LAMP stacks on Digital Ocean. Let me know what further steps I can take to help diagnose.

This issue still persists. Site is now launched at https://www.ncrcd.org/

The “Resources” and “About” top level menu items are affected. The cursor changes on hover and you see the URL in the bottom left of the browser window when clicked, but otherwise clicking does nothing. No errors in the console.

Other site using Kadence with this issue:
https://bostontaxinstitute.com/
https://www.grassvalleychamber.com/

Anyone else having this frustrating problem?? Did the functionality get changed??

So this problem fixed itself somehow a few days after posting, then recently came back again. I’ve regenerated CSS via Elementor’s tool (and clearned browser cache) but the issue persists.

This is an active dev site that has no caching plugin and never had one installed. Is there a server or site cache I have to worry about?

Came back to this with fresh eyes and picked it apart, and discovered that the code above uses agenda as the term when it’s actually agendas. With that change it works now! I’ve styled it as a button with generic text and it’s working great now. I’m sure this will be useful in the future for other projects, thanks again.

Hi Jory,

Thanks for the response. Can you be more specific as to why you can’t access the links? Do you see an error message? The site is discouraging search engines but is otherwise entirely public. I can open the links in an incognito window, so logins and cookies are not an issue. It currently has no SSL, is that the issue for you?

I understand how the code targets the document CPT, which is why I’m confused as to the results I’m seeing.

Can you view this screenshot? https://www.dropbox.com/s/zkdwx7mrofch3ie/shortcode-test-1.png?dl=0
I added class="shortcode-test" to the <p> tag to confirm that the shortcode was indeed printing that line, but the string it’s returning does not seem to be the correct permalink and title.

Thank you so much for the response Paul, the video walkthrough is very helpful!

I’ve added this to the functions.php of my child theme and tested it by adding it to a few blog posts, but it seems to be returning the title and permalink of whatever post its in. For example:

https://ncrcd.rb-com.com/uncategorized/hello-world/
https://ncrcd.rb-com.com/uncategorized/another-sample-post/

I’ve checked the code and it all matches, could there be something in my POD setup that’s creating this? Any thoughts? Much appreciated.

Holy hell, THANK YOU for this! This has been driving me crazy for 4 days and I almost switched to another plugin. I’ve not used the block editor much at all (coming from Elementor) and it was driving me crazy that I couldn’t move or copy blocks I had created.

Now I’m looking for a URL for Featured Products, Sale Products, Recent Products and Best Selling Products.

I’d like to use these URLs to link to from the home page, newsletters, etc.

Anyone? Is this a thing or do I have to make a page and add the shortcode?

Thank you! This helped. I also had a misplaced underscore instead of a dash in my category slugs.

Dug this out thanks to Google.

Category + Category
https://www.example.com/product-category/your-category-slug-1+your-category-slug-2/

Category + Tag
https://www.example.com/product-category/your-category-slug/?product_tag=your-tag-slug-1

Neither are terribly SEO friendly though and the page title, breadcrumbs, etc only reflect the first category mentioned in the URL. Does anyone know a way around that?

Thank you for confirming!

Works great, thank you! I assume this will only return products as search results, not pages or blog posts?

Worked to perfection! Thank you very much!
