Custom Product Tabs for WooCommerce

By YIKES, Inc.

Description

This plugin extends WooCommerce to allow shop owners to add custom tabs to products. The tabs are displayed on the individual product pages to the right of the default “Description” tab.

Individual product tabs are managed on the WooCommerce Edit Product screen and can be added on a per product basis. You can also create saved tabs and add them to multiple products as needed. Tabs can be easily added, deleted and rearranged.

Tab content areas use the standard WordPress text editor and may contain text, images, HTML or shortcodes.

If you experience any problems, please submit a ticket on our Free WordPress Support Forums and we’ll look in to it as soon as possible.

This plugin is compatible with WPML.

Upgrade to Custom Product Tabs Pro for great enhanced features!

FAQ

All documentation can be found in our Knowledge Base.

Where do I go to add tabs to a product?

When editing a product in WooCommerce, you will find “Custom Tabs” in the bottom left corner of the Product Data box. Click on “Custom Tabs” to reveal the custom tab manager.

Where will these tabs appear?

When the product is viewed on your website you will see the tabs you created to the right of the default “Description” tab.

How do I change the order of the tabs?

To change the order of custom tabs use the up and down “Move tab order” arrows.

How do saved tabs work?

Saved tabs are tabs you can create and then add to as many products you would like. If you update a saved tab, the changes will be updated for all products using that tab.

How do I create saved tabs?

To create a saved tab, click on the ‘Custom Product Tabs’ item on the WordPress dashboard menu and click the “Add Tab” button.

How do I add a saved tab to a product?

To add a saved tab to a product, go to the custom tabs section on the edit product screen, click the ‘Add a Saved Tab’ button above the tab, and choose which tab you would like to add.

What does overriding a saved tab do?

When using a saved tab on a product, a checkbox appears with the message ‘Override Saved Tab’ If you click that checkbox, edit the tab and save, the tab will be changed for that product only. Any edits to that saved tab under ‘Custom Product Tabs’ will not be applied to that product.

Why does the WYSIWYG editor default to the ‘Visual’ tab?

This was added in version 1.5 to support the dynamic adding and removing of the wp_editor/WYSIWYG editor. Without this setting, the WYSIWYG editor does not load the correct toolbar and the editor can potentially break.

Does custom tab data get exported with standard WooCommerce product data?

Yes! Since v1.4 we’ve added the necessary code to ensure the custom tab data is exported with all of the other standard WooCommerce data. This ensures a smooth transition of products between sites.

Reviews

Extremely Satisfied

April 22, 2021
Good UX and works like the way you need. If you edit in one place it edits all the products using that instance. So you don't need to edit every single product.

It doesn’t work.

I spend lots of time creating tabs using this plugin and when I saved and visited the page there were only headings of the tab visible and content was totally unavailable.

Great Plugin When it Works….

February 18, 2021
I've been using this plugin for about a year now. It is one of the only ones I can find that allows for the creation of multiple tabs with the free version. For that, I really like it. The problem is that randomly when I Publish or Update a product, the entire tab disappears along with all of the information within. This is extremely frustrating because I am using the tabs to add specification tables which take a LONG time to put together. I never know which ones are going to work and which ones are going to disappear, so I don't really know how to work around it. I submitted a ticket, but they couldn't replicate my problem at the time. Though now it seems that others are having my same disappearing tab issue. I would really love this problem to be fixed so I can use this plugin properly.
