Is it possible to hide specific Product Variations on WooCommerce?

I am currently working on a WordPress eCommerce website, where the chosen shopping platform is WooCommerce.

I would like the ability to hide 'Out of Stock' product variations but cannot seem to find a solution, anywhere on the Internet.

For example, say I have a Shoe Shop whereby the website sells Shoes. Product Drop Down Menu is as follows:

  • Shoe Size
    • 9
    • 10
    • 11
  • Shoe Colour
    • Red
    • Blue
    • Yellow
  • Shoe Style
    • Trainers
    • Casual
    • Velcro

Say the website does not have Blue Size 9 Trainers. If a shopper selects any 1 of those options from the drop down menu, the other options will be removed/greyed out.

I understand that there is a 'Hide Out of Stock' option, within the WooCommerce Settings but this only affects the Main Product rather than the Product Variations.

I have tried manually deleting the Product Variation, within the Product Page's backend but the variation still exists; a message simply appears saying 'This product is unavailable. Please select another combination.'

Any guidance on this matter, would be greatly appreciated.

function custom_wc_ajax_variation_threshold( $qty, $product ) {
    return 10;
}

add_filter( 'woocommerce_ajax_variation_threshold', 'custom_wc_ajax_variation_threshold', 10, 2 );

paste this code into your functions.php file

Simply paste the following into functions.php

function custom_wc_ajax_variation_threshold( $qty, $product ) {
    return 10;
}

add_filter( 'woocommerce_ajax_variation_threshold','custom_wc_ajax_variation_threshold', 10, 2 );

Then change the 'return 10;' to however many variations you have.

Please note this may slow down page loading time depending on your hosting

First, leave the box to ‘Hide out of stock items from the catalog’ unchecked. Then paste this into the appropriate plugin or theme file:

function hide_out_of_products( $is_visible, $id ) {
$product = new wC_Product( $id );

    if ( ! $product->is_in_stock()) {
        $is_visible = false;
    }

    return $is_visible;
}
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_is_visible', 'hide_out_of_products', 10, 2 );
