Discontinued Notice Not Showing? Here’s What to Check

If the discontinued notice is not appearing on the product page, there are a few key areas to check for possible misconfiguration:

First, ensure that the product in question has been properly marked as discontinued. Navigate to the product edit screen in your WordPress dashboard and verify that the discontinued status is enabled for that specific product.

Next, go to WooCommerce > Settings > Products> WC Discontinued Products and confirm that the Discontinued Product Notice option is enabled in the global settings. Without this enabled, no notice will appear even if a product is discontinued.

Additionally, if the product is hidden from the shop and search using the Hide From Shop/Search setting, it may not be easily accessible on the frontend. You’ll need to access it directly to verify if the notice is displaying.

In some cases, theme conflicts or custom templates may override default WooCommerce hooks, which can prevent the notice from rendering. Testing with a default theme like Storefront or temporarily disabling other plugins can help identify such conflicts.

Finally, clear any caching plugins or browser caches after making changes, as outdated cache may prevent new settings from being reflected.
