Special Cases Backorder Badge

In same Rare Cases the Backorder Badge doesn’t Appear to a website .

This happen because the theme used have custom woocommerce files templates .

In those files the original hooks of the woocommerce plugin are not used .

As the Backorder Badge Plugin it is using few of those hooks which in your theme woo theme files may be it is missing .

Exist a way to fix it by adding a shortcode to the woo theme files .

The shortcode to be added it is the below :

<?php gema75_show_product_loop_new_bcko_badge (); ?>

You Need to identify the file which display the products and add this line before the title code .
Usually the file for the catalog view it is located to your theme folder in the woocommerce /content-product.php
and for the single product view the file is woocommerce /content-single-product.php .

In same cases the theme developers use even other files depending on how they code the theme .
