wordpress - Hide 'out of stock' products in Woocommerce

Question

Under "Products" and "Inventory" I have checked the following setting: "Hide out of stock items from the catalog"

Now all sold out products are hidden in the archive/category view. So far so good.

The problem is that the hidden (out of stock) products are counted per page. So if there are 3 products that are sold out on the first page, only the ones in stock are showing (6).

It also seems that these "hidden" products still are searchable as well, and visible through the different widgets.

Any ideas how to fix this? I mean to REALLY hide products that are out of stock. Or do I need to manuallly remove them?

You can try adding this to your theme's functions.php file:

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_pre_get_posts_query' );

function custom_pre_get_posts_query( $q ) {

if ( ! $q->is_main_query() ) return;
if ( ! $q->is_post_type_archive() ) return;
if ( ! is_admin() ) {


$q->set( 'meta_query', array(array(
    'key'       => '_stock_status',
    'value'     => 'outofstock',
    'compare'   => 'NOT IN'
)));

}

remove_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_pre_get_posts_query' );

}

I modified the code from this URL: http://www.wptaskforce.com/how-to-exclude-one-or-more-category-in-woocommerce-shop-page/

Saved here again just in case that site goes offline: (this code excludes certain product categories)

add_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_pre_get_posts_query' );

function custom_pre_get_posts_query( $q ) {

if ( ! $q->is_main_query() ) return;
if ( ! $q->is_post_type_archive() ) return;
if ( ! is_admin() ) {

$q->set( 'tax_query', array(array(
'taxonomy' => 'product_cat',
'field' => 'slug',
'terms' => array( 'PUT YOUR CATEGORY HERE' ), // Don't display products in the membership category on the shop page . For multiple category , separate it with comma.
'operator' => 'NOT IN'
)));

}



remove_action( 'pre_get_posts', 'custom_pre_get_posts_query' );

}
