Install
Upload it under Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin, then activate.
Install straight from GitHub with WP-CLI:
wp plugin install https://github.com/dataforge/woo-backorder-message/releases/download/v1.3.1/woo-backorder-message-1.3.1.zipUpdates itself. It ships its own updater, so new versions appear under Dashboard → Updates.
A WordPress plugin that hides the "Available on backorder" message when a WooCommerce product is still in stock. The backorder notice only appears when stock is actually depleted.
The Problem
WooCommerce shows "Available on backorder" on products that allow backorders, even when there's still plenty of stock available. This can confuse customers and discourage purchases.
How It Works
- Variation manages its own stock — the backorder message is hidden while quantity > 0 and only shown when it hits 0.
- Variation does not manage stock — the message is always hidden, since there is no stock level to deplete.
Installation
- Upload the
woo-backorder-messagefolder to/wp-content/plugins/. - Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
- Requires WooCommerce to be installed and active.
Settings
Navigate to WooCommerce > Woo Backorder Message in the WordPress admin to toggle the behavior on or off. The plugin is enabled by default.
