 * Hi. I have updated to the latest version of woocommerce and suddenly ALL my variable
   products are saying “THIS PRODUCT IS CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK AND UNAVAILABLE.”
 * Stock management is turned OFF and I didnt have this problem until the update.
 * No matter what I do I cant get it to change to in stock and show my colour swatches.
 * Please help!

 * Hi there,
 * Sorry to hear about the trouble. Do you see in errors in the browser console?
   Can you post a link to one of these products here?

 * Hi Mike
 * I cant see any errors, other than the fact that none of my colour swatches are
   showing and its instead saying “This product is currently out of stock and unavailable”.
   Before the update it was working perfectly so I dont know what the problem could
   be.
 * I have hidden all the “add to cart” buttons etc because we dont actually want
   people to buy straight from the website, this is just to display the products.
   To be clear that was done from the start and it was still working fine. I havent
   changed anything in any of the woocommerce files. Its all purely done with CSS.
 * Here is a link to one of the products so you can see. [http://46.32.240.37/mdblandscapes.co.uk/hunza-products/hunza-ground-level-lights/hunza-spike-spot-adjustable/](http://46.32.240.37/mdblandscapes.co.uk/hunza-products/hunza-ground-level-lights/hunza-spike-spot-adjustable/)
 * The problem is under the heading “Available finishes and colours”
 * I have WOOCOMMERCE – SETTINGS – PRODUCTS – INVENTORY – enable stock management
   UNCHECKED so I dont know how its saying there is no stock when Im telling it 
   not to track stock.
 * Thank you for your help

 * Hi,
 * In that product example’s editor, what does the stock setting show here?

 * If the product itself says that it is In Stock, then could you check if you have
   any cache plugins? If so, try clearing cache?
 * If that still does not help, see if there is a theme or plugin conflict by temporarily
   switching your theme to Storefront and deactivating all plugins except for one–
   WooCommerce – to see if that helps.
 * If you would prefer not to do testing on your live site, first make a back up
   of your site, then create a staging site using this plugin [WP Staging]([https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-staging/)).
   This creates a copy of your live site where you can make tests without affecting
   your live site.

 * Hi!
 * For every variable product the Stock status says “In stock”.
 * Cleared Cache and nothing has changed
 * Ive also switched the theme to 2017 before I even wrote this post and it didnt
   fix the issue so its not the theme.
 * I dont know what else to do??? There are almost 100 products in the store with
   about 10 variations with each and they are all messed up now…

 * How can I switch back to a previous version of woocommerce to undo all the changes?

 * yes. Once I saw there was a problem I went into woocommerce and it prompted me
   to run it so I did. It didnt change anything though….

 * Hi [@shugadesigns](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shugadesigns/),
 * Do the variations themselves have pricing? If they do not, could you try adding
   a price to the variables to see if that helps? The products would need a pricing
   to display in stock.

 * If you need to keep the prices hidden, then using a plugin such as [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/catalog-visibility-options/](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/catalog-visibility-options/)
   would help.
