When you are running a WooCommerce store, it is important to keep track of your inventory and make sure that your customers can only purchase items that are in stock. If an item is out of stock, you will need to disable it so that it cannot be added to the cart. There are a few different ways that you can do this.
One way to disable out of stock items is to go to the products page in your WordPress admin panel and click on the edit link for the product that is out of stock.
On the edit product page, there is a section called Inventory. In this section, you will see a field called Stock Status. By default, this will be set to In Stock. You will need to change this to Out of Stock. Once you have done this, save your changes and the product will now be disabled.
Another way to disable out of stock items is to use the WooCommerce Product Availability plugin.
First, you need to make sure that you have the “Out of Stock Visibility” setting enabled in WooCommerce. You can find this setting under WooCommerce > Settings > Products. Once this setting is enabled, WooCommerce will start showing an “out of stock” message for any variations that are no longer available.
Next, you need to decide how you want to display the “out of stock” message. There are two options:
1. Display the “out of stock” message on the product page
2. Display the “out of stock” message on the variation selectors (on the product page)
If you choose option 1, the “out of stock” message will be displayed on the product page next to the variation selector. If you choose option 2, the “out of stock” message will be displayed on the variation selector itself.
Finally, you need to decide how you want to handle products that have multiple variations with different “stock
Once you have installed and activated the plugin, go to the products page and click on the edit link for the product that is out of stock. On the edit product page, you will see a new section called Product Availability. In this section, you will see a field called Disable Product If Out Of Stock.
By default, this will be set to No. You will need to change this to Yes.

There are three primary ways you can display out-of-stock variations in WooCommerce:
- You can display an “Out Of Stock” label on products that have no remaining inventory.

- You can choose whether or not sold out products are visible on your shop page using the “Hide Out Of Stock Items From Shop Page” setting in WooCommerce > Settings > Products tab.
