Out of stock items are shown on the front page widgets. The button on them is “Read more” instead of “add to cart” which is fine. But I do not want to display the out of stock items on the first page. For ex In demo theme, items under “ALL BLACK TOPS” are shown as the quantity is available. If stock quantity is zero then it should not show there. Note: On the SHOP page it is not displaying as I have chosen option in woocommerce “Hide out of stock items from the catalog”. Please help me in removing OOS items from first page. ---

Thanks for you reply. I already mentioned in my first comment that Yes i tried and still on first page it is not hiding. in the Sub pages it is getting hidden due to that option. My problem is, it should hide from the first page. “Note: On the SHOP page it is not displaying as I have chosen option in woocommerce “Hide out of stock items from the catalog”. Please help me in removing OOS items from first page.” ---

But if this works, do I need to manually go and change each out of stock product when my website is live? If yes this will be cumbersome… ---

Hi Go ahead in dashboard, products, select all your products you want to move in draft mode, choose edit (at the top of the list you will see option for drop-down menu, ) hit apply and mark all your products with single click in draft mode from status drop-down menu, see attached image ---

Hi there Sorry for this inconvenience, i just opened ticket in our tracking system and our developer will take a look at this issue most probably this will be fixed in the future updates, unfortunately, i can’t say when exactly. meanwhile, you can save your products in draft mode as a temporary solution, sorry
