Adding this code to functions.php seams that the empty space are fixed in shop page
add_action( ‘woocommerce_product_query’, ‘custom_woocommerce_product_query’ );
function custom_woocommerce_product_query( $q ) {
if ( ! is_admin() ) {
$oos_query = new WP_Query( [
‘meta_query’ => [ [
‘key’ => ‘_stock_status’,
‘value’ => ‘outofstock’,
‘compare’ => ‘=’,
], ],
‘post_type’ => ‘product’,
‘posts_per_page’ => -1,
‘fields’ => ‘ids’,
] );
$exclude_ids = $oos_query->posts;
$q->set( ‘post__not_in’, $exclude_ids );
}
}
Now the problem is still present in “Ajax product tabs” and in the category widget (mismatch products count)
