Filter WooCommerce Products By Variations.

Using the filter item stock status helps your customers to display in-stock and out-of-stock products depending on product variations.
For example, color, and size.

For example, there is a product that has 4 colors(red, blue, orange, and black)
and 4 sizes (small, medium, large, x large) suppose that the color red doesn’t exist with all sizes so
when a client clicks the red color this product doesn’t display and the client can click out of stock to see it.
