WooCommerce Discontinued Products 1.2.5
Description
WooCommerce Discontinued Products is a WooCommerce product management plugin designed for stores that need to handle end-of-life items without breaking their catalog or search presence. Instead of deleting products or leaving them fully active, it lets you discontinue products in a controlled way. You can keep their SEO value while adjusting how they appear to shoppers, or hide them from your store when you no longer want them displayed. This helps reduce clutter in the product catalog, improve user experience, and maintain cleaner merchandising in WooCommerce.
Built to support a smooth workflow inside WordPress, the plugin focuses on practical controls for inactive products and discontinued listings. It’s especially useful when you’re using WooCommerce templates to present catalog items and want visibility that matches real availability—without losing historical rankings tied to product URLs.
