Custom Product Tabs for WooCommerce

by Evan Herman

Version: 1.8.6

Download
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.

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.

This plugin stopped working, and the support team is not responding. Their website also seems to be abandoned.

Paid/Pro version appears abandoned

By Steve D. (sdowney2002) on September 19, 2024

Pro version throws curl errors when attempting to validate license; slowing down admin page loading tremendously. CodeParrot website appears to be gone.

Getting Requests to UPDATE PRO but NO SUPPORT

By tabledesigns on July 3, 2024

We are receiving emailed requests to pay to update the PRO version but haven't heard back from this company since January. The API fails and they no longer supported this plugin.

Apparently they're still requesting money though.

Superb!

The paid version is great.

So many issues and no support

By ginohanna on February 13, 2024

If anyone is looking to buy this plugin please do not purchase. This is a warning review. I have paid for a pro version and contacted the support but no response has been received their website and support emails are not working. I am getting an undeliverable message when I try to send it to one of their support emails.

Good app, only pro support and support hard to find

Gute App, aber kein Support, bzw. nur bei Pro. Manche Links gibt es nicht und der kostenlose support ist schwer zu finden.

Where is the support? The true Website?

By stephanebienfait on November 1, 2023

Hi,

This is a really good plugin but there are a lot of problems with support, no answers, paypal is not working, I am really disapointed with Yikes or Parrots or …. Is there a really society which works on the backend. So worry, I must replace 1700 tabs by hand now… Thanks guys!

The best
