<p>By default, WooCommerce hides <strong>all</strong> out-of-stock products when the global “Hide out of stock items” option is enabled.</p>
<p>This plugin turns off WooCommerce’s global “Hide out of stock items” setting. Out-of-stock products remain hidden by default, and you use the plugin’s per-product controls to allow selected sold-out products to appear (shop/search). A notice on the manager page reminds you that the global setting is overridden.</p>
<h3>What this plugin does</h3>
<ul>
<li>Choose visibility for <strong>out-of-stock products only</strong></li>
<li>Forces WooCommerce’s global “Hide out of stock items” setting off so per-product control applies</li>
<li>Hide out-of-stock products by default; allow specific sold-out items to appear where you choose</li>
<li>Control whether a product appears in:
<ul>
<li>Shop + Search</li>
<li>Shop only</li>
<li>Search only</li>
<li>Hidden everywhere</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Bulk-manage sold-out products with pagination and search</li>
<li>Uses WooCommerce’s native <code>product_visibility</code> taxonomy (safe & compatible)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Typical use cases</h3>
<ul>
<li>Keep sold-out products visible for <strong>SEO</strong></li>
<li>Show catalog or discontinued items</li>
<li>Keep seasonal or returning products searchable</li>
<li>Avoid confusing customers while stock is unavailable</li>
<li>Maintain a clean shop page without hiding everything</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin overrides the global hide toggle but still uses WooCommerce’s native <code>product_visibility</code> taxonomy for safe per-product exceptions.</p>
