Hide unavailable variants from multiple drop downs on custom theme?

Topic summary

A store owner is seeking help to hide unavailable variant options from product dropdown menus on their custom Shopify theme. Their products feature two dropdown selectors (item type and size), where different item types require different size options, creating irrelevant “unavailable” combinations that clutter the interface.

Current situation:

  • The HiVar app was tested but did not resolve the issue
  • A support member (@devcoders) requested store access to investigate
  • Store URL and credentials were shared privately via email

Status: The discussion remains open with no solution posted yet. Another user has expressed interest in the same fix for their multi-variant products, indicating this is a common challenge for stores with complex variant structures.

Is it possible to hide unavailable variants on a custom theme?

I had my shop built for me, but I’m struggling with this one issue mostly.

A lot of my items have two drop down options. One being type of item and the other a size guide. Different types of items need different sizes. You can see what I mean via this link - https://cosydayscrochet.com/products/bear

Is there a way to hide the ‘unavailable’ options?

I’ve tried using the HiVar app but it doesn’t seem to work

I just want to keep it clean

Thanks!
