In WooCommerce I am using the function below where it adds a sold out text on the product thumbnail if the product is out of stock:

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title', 'bbloomer_display_sold_out_loop_woocommerce' );
 
function bbloomer_display_sold_out_loop_woocommerce() {
    global $product;
    if ( ! $product->is_in_stock() ) {
        echo '<span class="soldout">Sold Out</span>';
    }
} 

It works for a simple product, but not for variable products.

For variable products with variations, if I set all variations to 0 stock quantity except for 1 variation, I notice that the sold out message still appears on the thumbnail. Technically this is not correct as we do have some in stock.

Does anybody know how to change the code below in order to handle this?

  1. You can create a custom conditional function to check if all variations of a variable product are "out of stock" as follows:

    function is_variable_product_out_of_stock( $product ) {
        $children_count = 0; // initializing
        $variation_ids  = $product->get_visible_children();
            
        // Loop through children variations of the parent variable product
        foreach( $variation_ids as $variation_id ) {{
            $variation = wc_get_product($_variation_id); // Get the product variation Object
                
            if( ! $variation->is_in_stock() ) {
                $children_count++; // count out of stock children
            }
        }
        // Compare counts and return a boolean
        return count($variation_ids) == $children_count ? true : false;
    }
    

    Then you will use it in your revisited hooked function below:

    add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title', 'display_products_loop_out_of_stock' );
     
    function display_products_loop_out_of_stock() {
        global $product;
    
        if ( ( ! $product->is_type('variable') && ! $product->is_in_stock()  ) 
        || ( $product->is_type('variable') && is_variable_product_out_of_stock( $product ) ) ) {
            echo '<span class="soldout">Sold Out</span>';
        }
    } 
    

    Code goes in functions.php file of the active child theme (or active theme). It should works.

  2. I made a lighter version of @LoicTheAztec ‘s function that will stop looping as soon as it finds a variable that is in stock:

    function is_variable_product_out_of_stock($product) {
        $variation_ids = $product->get_visible_children();
        foreach($variation_ids as $variation_id) {
            $variation = wc_get_product($variation_id);
            if ($variation->is_in_stock())
                return false;
        }
        return true;
    }
    

    Also with no fatal error because he made two critical typos in his function.

    You can the do something custom like he did:

    add_action('woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title', 'display_products_loop_out_of_stock');
    function display_products_loop_out_of_stock() {
        global $product;
        if ((!$product->is_type('variable') and !$product->is_in_stock()) or ($product->is_type('variable') and is_variable_product_out_of_stock($product)))
            echo '<span class="soldout">Sold Out</span>';
    }
