 * Hi,
 * Great plugin, just one question.
 * I’m trying to trigger the “can be backordered” message, but I can’t make it work.
   Can you explain what the parameters need to be to trigger the message? EG, what
   stock quantity, status, allow backorders etc.
 * Thanks for the work,
    Scott

 * Brilliant, thank you so much. One final thing – I’m importing a lot of data with
   WP All Import. What is the name of the custom field you use for “in stock” so
   I can bulk import various in stock messages.
 * THANK YOU!

 * Hi, thanks for this, I have tried importing “_in_stock” and “in_stock” as well
   as “in-stock” in the custom fields, but I’m having no luck.
 * Is this the correct field for the importing the actual text into the custom stock
   status?
 * Do you have a list of the custom fields for the other status’ too?
 * Thanks,
    Scott

 * Hi,
 * these are the other fields
 * `in_stock, only_s_left_in_stock, can_be_backordered, s_in_stock, available_on_backorder,
   out_of_stock`
 * Sorry, i’m not sure how to configure with “WP All Import”
 * Thanks
