 * Hi,
 * Whenever I update my shop, a glitch occurs where multiple items end up back ordered(
   appearing as “-1”) … even though I have listings set to not allow back orders.
   Not cool!
 * I noticed this started happening after I installed a new theme. I did a little
   research and it seems some themes are known to cause problems like this.
 * Does anyone know how I can fix this … without having to find (and pay) for a 
   new theme?
 * Many thanks!

 * Hi Federicocapanni,
 * Sadly, not. I find WooCommerce has way too many glitches to handle the amount
   of traffic my site would receive during shop updates … and not so great customer
   service.
 * I’ve since switched to a paid eCommerce site with 24/7 customer service, that
   spares me all the headaches WooCommerce’s platform had caused me. Well worth 
   the investment, in my opinion.
 * Best of luck!
