Frequently asked questions
Problems with wp all import?
👉 1. How can we make them activate automatically during the import process? If you want to make them active, in Import settings check “Taxonomies (incl. Categories and Tags)”, under this chose “Update only these taxonomies, leave the rest alone” and type “location” Use this with “custom fields: _stock_at_xxx” as warehouse number and import works perfectly.

How to lock pre-selected location on frontend?
Turn ON “Enable default location in frontend selection” from WooCommerce > Stock Locations for WC. This option will allow you to select default location for a product on Product Edit page. Now turn ON “Lock frontend location to default” and it will lock frontend location which is selected as default.

How to show location stock quantity with a postfix e.g. 20+?
On settings page you can define a number. If location stock value will be less than the given number, it will display the stock value else will not show the exact number but a plus sign “+” just after the maximum number given.
Changelog
This release fixes a critical issue where variable products were displaying as out of stock despite having available inventory. After updating, variable products will correctly reflect stock status without requiring manual stock entry for each variation in the location tab. Simple products already working with the "Everything stock status to instock" setting will continue to function normally. We highly recommend updating to restore proper stock display for your variable products.
3.1.7
- Fix: Variable products showing out of stock even when inventory exists – resolved stock status handling for variations without manual location stock entry [Thanks to Ben Croft][28/05/2026]
3.1.4
- Fix: Bug with variation stock status querying (PR #171). Variations were getting their is_in_stock queried, and reporting incorrectly they were out of stock. [Thanks to kennydude / Joe Simpson][30/04/2026]
3.1.1
- Fix: Corrected stock status calculation when all locations have zero stock to prevent false “in stock” state. [Thanks to @armanuniverse][06/04/2026]
- Fix: Ensured proper handling and saving of _stock_status (instock/outofstock) in database.
- Improvement: Replaced unreliable stock status checks with aggregated per-location stock calculation.
- Improvement: Standardized return values to boolean for accurate WooCommerce compatibility.
- Props: Thanks to armanuniverse for identifying and sharing the fix.
3.1.0
- Resolved ‘get_variation_default_attribute’ fatal error and out-of-stock display issue caused by Stock Locations plugin update, ensuring variable and simple products now show correct stock status. [Thanks to Renzo Westenbroek | Webreturn][12/03/2026]
3.0.9
- Fixed: Including API response and optimized approach to DB writes, backorder related status and a few more improvements suggested in support threads since October 2025. [07/03/2026]
3.0.8
- Fixed: Compatibility issue with Woodmart theme where early returns in slw_wp_head() prevented closing of tag, causing invalid HTML and breaking mobile viewport (meta viewport ignored, pages rendering in desktop mode on mobile). Refactored dynamic CSS output to collect rules first and only inject block when content exists; bumped hook priority to 20 for safer execution after theme styles. [Thanks to Spikee] [22/02/2026]
