Elements on the product and detail pages are now set in the vsadmin/includes.asp so you would remove the 'instock' text from the product layout parameters as described below. There's more information here for the product pages layout - https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/css-layouts.asp#productorder and here for the detail pages layout - https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/help/css-layouts.asp#proddetailorder However, your example detail page is referring to the 'out of stock' message on what is/was the buy button which really cannot be removed unless you remove the buy button. *Contact Us* *Buy The PHP Capture Card Plugin* Rate Our Services/View Our Feedback

But it's actually for not showing products that are out of stock and I think the problem here is that the stock for this product is set by the options and this parameter doesn't work in this case, only where the stock is set on the product itself.

So, I will try again... how do I hide "out of stock" items from being displayed in my store. If there is 0 stock the item should not be displayed. Actually, cannot even understand why it would show items with 0 stock especially if not allowed to backorder. You help as always is greatly appreciated.

It's just a limitation of the system. Products that don't have the stock set by the options can be hidden. Sorry about that.
