Hi Aashik

I followed all your steps above and it still did not fix the issue. For some strange reason the changes still do not reflect even after importing the updated In stock column from backorder to 1. I then tried changing the Backorders allowed column from 1 to 0 and that worked perfectly via the csv import. So it looks like the variations are not being updated.

I’m not sure what else I can do as this still seems to be a huge problem. Is there anything else that you could recommend, please?

Thank you so much

Hi there

I’ve tried changing the backorders to 1 in the CSV export and then import it but it does not seem to work, it doesn’t even seem to update any of the products (the backorders still display when I do a second export! I’ve also tried using a different theme and disabling all plugins (except WooCommerce) and still the same thing seems to be happening. Is there anything else that might fix the issue? I’m really desperate.

Thank you so much!

Hi Aashik

So just to confirm, in the CSV export the only update I should make is to edit the In stock column values from backorder to 1?

Thanks so much

Hi Aashik

I’ve followed all your steps and my Stock management is definitely disabled and yet I’m still seeing the on backorder status appear.

Thanks again, Aashik. Will definitely try the CSV option.

I still don’t understand why our “in stock” products keep changing to “on backorder” automatically. The manage stock inventory is disabled. I need to make sure that after making these changes the products wont change again to “on backorder”.

Thank you

Hi Aashik

Thank you so much for the reply.

Is there a way to globally switch it off, for simple and variable products?

We have over 600 products which are currently listed as “on backorder” so manually going through each one will be such a nightmare. We are afraid that this is pushing our customers away.

Thank you

Hi Jose

Thank you so much! This is perfect.
