Display a “Sold Out!” badge on out-of-stock products.
When a WooCommerce product becomes out of stock, this plugin will show a badge on thumbnail with the text you will have defined.

This plugin was initially created to help people and companies selling unique products or services, like artists, artisans, real estate professionals, etc. It is often beneficial for them to keep showing sold out (out of stock) products on their websites, while displaying a message indicating that the product can’t be sold anymore.

However, this plugin can be used by anyone wanting to display any text in a badge when a product is out of stock.

It is also possible to display a badge on backorder products.

What if this plugin isn’t compatible with my theme or doesn’t work?

You could uninstall this plugin and try to get the badge manually. There are two ways you could do it:

1. Pure CSS

If you’re lucky enough, you’ll have a specific CSS class for out-of-stock products.
You could add a SOLD OUT badge like this:

.product.outofstock:before {
     content: 'SOLD OUT';
     color: #ffffff;
     background: #FE2121;
     font-size: 16px;
     padding: 4px;
     font-weight: bold;
     width: auto;
     height: auto;
     border-radius: 0;
     z-index: 9999;
     text-align: center;
     position: absolute;
     top: 6px;
     right: auto;
     bottom: auto;
     left: 6px;
}

2. PHP + CSS

Otherwise, you could use WP hooks to add a badge. Put this code in your child theme’s functions.php:

add_action( 'woocommerce_before_shop_loop_item_title', 'my_custom_soldout_badge_display', 10 );
add_action( 'woocommerce_before_single_product_summary', 'my_custom_soldout_badge_display', 30 );

function my_custom_soldout_badge_display() {
    global $post, $product;

    if ( ! $product->is_in_stock() ) {
        echo '<span class="wcsob_soldout">SOLD OUT</span>';
    }
}

Use the following CSS code to style the badge:

.wcsob_soldout {
     content: 'SOLD OUT';
     color: #ffffff;
     background: #FE2121;
     font-size: 16px;
     padding: 4px;
     font-weight: bold;
     width: auto;
     height: auto;
     border-radius: 0;
     z-index: 9999;
     text-align: center;
     position: absolute;
     top: 6px;
     right: auto;
     bottom: auto;
     left: 6px;
}
