I have this turned off

Genius!

Phew – I’ve lost sleep on that one! Once again indebted to you for your time and efforts. Only trek I added was to set the loop in the drop down so the custom status isn’t at the bottom of the list (just from a workflow point of view it made sense to me to do that).

Sure this code will help others.

6 out of 5 stars 🙂

…now if I can only figure out how to set a product category to only show in the backend for filtering purposes without adding yet another plug in 🙂

Thank You!!!!

Rashed,

If you fancy another challenge here is my latest problem

Another ‘simple’ problem that seems to evade me!

Thanks Rashed,

When I use the above code in my function php file it does nothing to the products shortcode.

Here is my shortcode layout:

[products limit=”20″ columns=”4″ category=”christmas” on_sale=”true” paginate=”true”]

I was expecting maybe to have to add an extra argument to the code i.e.

[products limit=”20″ columns=”4″ category=”christmas” on_sale=”true” paginate=”true” Stockstatus = “instuck”]

but you think the php should be limiting results with no additional argument?

Just doesn’t work for me

Hi @mahiwahi

FYI – I ended up uninstalling the plugin. It was clashing with too many other things. In the end I just added code to the function.php file that ordered my store front by availability (which is all I needed from this plugin).

Here is the code….

// Add custom sorting options
function filter_woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args( $args ) {
$orderby_value = isset( $_GET[‘orderby’] ) ? wc_clean( $_GET[‘orderby’] ) : apply_filters( ‘woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby’, get_option( ‘woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby’ ) );
if ( $orderby_value == ‘availability’ ) {
$args[‘orderby’] = ‘meta_value_num’;
$args[‘order’] = ‘DESC’;
$args[‘meta_key’] = ‘_stock’;
}
return $args;
}
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args’, ‘filter_woocommerce_get_catalog_ordering_args’, 10, 1 );

function custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby( $sortby ) {
$sortby[‘availability’] = ‘Availability’;
return $sortby;
}
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_default_catalog_orderby_options’, ‘custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby’, 10, 1 );
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_catalog_orderby’, ‘custom_woocommerce_catalog_orderby’, 10, 1 );

// Optional: use for debug purposes (display stock quantity)
function action_woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item() {
global $product;
echo wc_get_stock_html( $product );
}
add_action( ‘woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item’, ‘action_woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item’, 10, 0 );
// End of add custom sorting options
