By default, WooCommerce hides all out-of-stock products when the global “Hide out of stock items” option is enabled.
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.
<h3>What this plugin does</h3>
<ul>
<li>Choose visibility for out-of-stock products only</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 SEO</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>
This plugin overrides the global hide toggle but still uses WooCommerce’s native <code>product_visibility</code> taxonomy for safe per-product exceptions.

I wanted a simple way to link multiple products together to share the stock status, such as if you change the stock status of one product all the other linked products will be synced to the same stock status.
Do you have multiple WooCommerce products with different titles and prices but shared inventory status? This plugin addresses the common issue of inaccurate stock status displays. Link these products together to synchronize their stock status in real-time. Links are mutual: linking Product A to Product B also links Product B to Product A, ensuring seamless two-way synchronization A simple interface within the product editor makes managing linked products a breeze. Supports both simple and variable products.
Choosing products is really easy, just search for the product name or id.
This plugin aims to fix the issue of having multiple products that were essentially the same product but with different titles and prices, so when one of the products would run out of stock you would not have to remember and manually change the stock status of all the other products too.
Plugins codename is SSBDP – Same Stock But Different Product
