Hello,
Navigate to WooCommerce -> Settings -> Products -> Inventory -> turn off the “Hide out of stock items from the catalog” option. Clear the cache and check how it works.

but surely that will reverse the red x in my out of stock for variations?

Hello,
To enable a waitlist for specific out-of-stock variations, those variations must remain visible and selectable. This allows customers to choose the variation and then join the waitlist. The red “X” status will still correctly show Out of stock, and the waitlist option will appear for that variation — this is expected behavior.
If variation swatches are disabled or hidden, customers cannot select the variation, so there is no way for them to join the waitlist. Therefore, the variations need to stay visible for the waitlist feature to work.
Best Regards,
