Remove "can be backordered" from product page stock display in Woocommerce

It doesn't make sense to me to have the '(can be backordered)' text on a Woocommerce product page if the product is in stock as that confuses people because, after all, it's in stock!

I have found code to change the message if it is backordered but not how to remove it if the product is in stock and I have searched on the net for hours.

Can anyone provide me with the code required in the functions.php file or elsewhere to change it globally?

If you wonder how to make this work in any language you should use preg_replace with regular expression instead of str_replace.

Like this:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_availability_text', 'filter_product_availability_text', 10, 2 );
function filter_product_availability_text( $availability, $product ) {

if( $product->backorders_require_notification() ) {
    $availability = preg_replace( '/\(.*\)/', '', $availability );
}
return $availability;

}

This will remove everything within those two parentheses including the parentheses themselves. Useful especially for people using WPML and other multilingual plugins.

all you have to do is to go here

woocommerce/includes/wc-formatting-functions.php

and at line 1197

change

if ( $product->backorders_allowed() && $product->backorders_require_notification() ) { $display .= ' ' . __( '(can be backordered)', 'woocommerce' ); }

to

if ( $product->backorders_allowed() && $product->backorders_require_notification() ) { $display .= ' ' . __( '', 'woocommerce' ); }

hope that helps! :)

You forgot the translation string. It will be:

$availability = str_replace(__( '(can be backordered)', 'woocommerce' ), '', $availability);

If you want to show the text "can be backordered", on products that have inventory quantity equal or less than value set on "Low stock threshold" :

add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_availability_text', 'filter_product_availability_text', 10, 2 );
function filter_product_availability_text( $availability, $product ) {

if( $product->get_stock_quantity () > get_option( 'woocommerce_notify_low_stock_amount' )) {
    $availability = str_replace('(can be backordered)', '', $availability);
 }
 return $availability;
}

The following code will remove "(can be backordered)" text from the product availability text, when product is in stock and backorders are allowed (with a customer notification):

add_filter( 'woocommerce_get_availability_text', 'filter_product_availability_text', 10, 2 );
function filter_product_availability_text( $availability, $product ) {

    if( $product->backorders_require_notification() ) {
        $availability = str_replace('(can be backordered)', '', $availability);
    }
    return $availability;
}

Code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or active theme). Tested and works.
