    Hi Trevor,

    Hope you’re well!

    We are wondering if there is a way to hide out of stock items from the search filters, when no taxonomy (category) is selected.

    If a user visits: https://www.usedkitchenexchange.co.uk/shop/

    and then filters price low to high, or vice versa, all the sold kitchens are visible first!

    Like this: https://www.usedkitchenexchange.co.uk/shop/?sort_order=_sfm__price+asc+num

    Many thanks
    Warren

    In general, are you showing Out of Stock items in WooCommerce (the catalog) or hiding them? S&F supports the “out of stock visibility” setting in WooCommerce

    Hi Trevor,

    Yes we’re showing them because some rank quite well in search and staff also need to refer back to them after they are sold. I know its not ideal or normal practice, most sites would happily delete sold items.

    Ideally, for us, we would like to be able to hide them from the https://www.usedkitchenexchange.co.uk/shop/ but still be able to browser them here: https://www.usedkitchenexchange.co.uk/product-category/sold/

    Is there a way of doing this?

    Many thanks, Warren

    Are you using stock control to decide if it is sold? Or some other custom field? You could add a Post Meta condition using that custom field to show only those not sold (how to do this depends on exactly what data is stored in the database).

    Hi Trevor, sorry for the delayed reply!

    We’re not using stock control ( Manage stock? ). They are marked as ‘Out of Stock’ in the product inventory and also assigned to an ‘Archive – Sold Items’ product category.

    Is there a way to exclude them from the /shop/ page? ( https://www.usedkitchenexchange.co.uk/shop/?sort_order=_sfm__price+asc+num ) but keep them visible here https://www.usedkitchenexchange.co.uk/product-category/sold/

    That would require some custom PHP coding then. You would need to use this filter:

    https://searchandfilter.com/documentation/action-filter-reference/#edit-query-arguments

    And make it conditional not only on that form ID (221317) but also only to the shop page (you could check to make sure the page is NOT a Product Category taxonomy page).

    Such custom coding is outside the scope of our technical support, but a competent third party coder should be able to get it done for you. There are some snippets using that filter on our forums, but none doing what you want.
