 * HI I see a lot of people have had this problem in the last few years:
 * No matter how many times i set my variable products to “in stock” (with manage
   stock unchecked) some of them automatically revert back to manage stock/out of
   stock once I save.
 * 1) enable stock management at product level is NOT checked.
    2) this is a virtual
   product.
 * Obviously I can’t get a hold of anyone at woocommerce.

 * Hi [@bethca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bethca/)
 * This kind of problem is usually caused by either a conflict with your theme or
   with another plugin.
      The best way to determine this is to:  
    - 
    - Disable all plugins except for WooCommerce
    - Repeat the action that is causing the problem
 * If you’re not seeing the same problem after completing the conflict test, then
   you know the problem was with the plugins and/or theme you deactivated. To figure
   out which plugin is causing the problem, reactivate your other plugins one by
   one, testing after each, until you find the one causing conflict. You can find
   a more detailed explanation on how to do a conflict test here.

 * Thanks,
 * I hired someone to do this for me from go daddy and now they are scratching their
   heads as well. 6 mos and counting problem. I wonder if there is a woo commerce
   alternative?

 * Hi [@bethca](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bethca/)
 * It sounds like you are saying that this still happens with only WooCommerce active
   and using a default theme such as Storefront?
 * If so, 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.
 * In addition to this, can you please share a screencast of this happening when
   only WooCommerce core is active and the default Storefront theme active.

 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved–
   if you have any further questions, you can start a new thread.
