related products displaying out of stock

Hi,

Without going to WooCommerce Settings -> Inventory -> Hide out of stock items from the catalog

Sorry for the delay. The Hide out of stock items from the catalog option should be enabled to hide out of stock items from the shop page and the related product section.

In the woocommerce_output_related_products_args filter above, try to include the orderby and order parameters in the $args array.

'orderby'        => 'rand', // @codingStandardsIgnoreLine.
'order'          => 'desc',

Hi,

I cannot enable the option in WooCommerce settings as i am using a php code for that purpose !

Why do you have to do it by code when the option is directly available in the settings panel?

Are you planning to change the default query? If so, then just insert the additional parameters in the related products filter without changing the default query.

Hi,

Try to replace the snippet with this one.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_output_related_products_args', function( $args )
{
	$args = wp_parse_args( array(
		'posts_per_page' => 5,
		'meta_query' => array(
			array(
				'key' => '_stock_status',
				'value' => 'instock'
			),
			array(
				'key' => '_backorders',
				'value' => 'no'
			),
		)
	), $args );

	return $args;
});

What do you mean by custom endpoint?

Hi,

Some of the products are probably missing because the wc_get_related_products function shuffles the array that contains the related products or posts.

if ( apply_filters( 'woocommerce_product_related_posts_shuffle', true ) ) {
		shuffle( $related_posts );
	}

Try to add this filter in the functions.php file to disable the shuffle.

add_filter('woocommerce_product_related_posts_shuffle', '__return_false' );

If this doesn’t work, you might have to remove the snippet and enable the default out of stock option. For additional assistance, you can contact our partner, Codeable.

Hi,

That is possible but it’s beyond the scope of support. You can ask a freelance developer to adjust the logic inside the wc_get_related_products function, and tell them that they have to find a way to pre shuffle the product items after querying them and before including them inside the $related_posts array or variable.
