Documentation
Everything below describes the free plugin. Where a feature belongs to the paid tier that is still in development, it says so.
Getting started
- Install the plugin from Plugins → Add New, or upload the folder to
wp-content/plugins/. Activate it. WooCommerce 7.0 or newer must be active. - Open any product, go to the Product data box and choose the Product Tabs panel to add a tab to that product.
- Go to Products → Product Tabs to write a tab once and show it on many products.
- Coming from another tab plugin? Open Products → Tabs Tools & Health.
Topics
-
Creating tabs on a product
The Product Tabs panel, tab keys and anchors, the editor, enabling and disabling, version history and restore.
-
Global tabs and rules
Writing a tab once, the rule builder, brands and categories, include and exclude, and overriding a global tab on one product.
-
Tab order and the default WooCommerce tabs
Where custom tabs are placed, how to rename or hide Description, Additional information and Reviews, and what happens on a key collision.
-
Tables, images and HTML in tab content
What survives in tab content and what does not: a size chart you can copy, images and the title attribute, embedded video and the iframe host allow-list, and why scripts are removed.
-
Opening a tab from a link
Linking straight to a tab with
#tab-key, where to find a tab's key, what happens when the key does not exist, and how to turn the behaviour off. -
Translating tabs
What the WPML configuration declares, what the Polylang integration copies, and what neither vendor has certified.
-
Migrating from another tab plugin
Read-only adapters, dry run, migrate, verify and rollback, and the guides for each supported source.
-
Recovering lost tabs
When tabs disappear: the per-product history and one-click restore, the guard that refuses a truncated save, and why deleting an old tabs plugin can erase its data when deactivating it cannot.
-
Tools, health and data
The Tools & Health screen, Site Health checks, the system report, the activity log, JSON export and import, and the WooCommerce CSV column.
-
Shortcodes and filters for developers
Shortcodes, filters and actions, template overrides, the rendering pipelines and where the data is stored.
-
PHP warnings and compatibility
Deprecation notices on modern PHP: how to stop displaying them, how to tell whether the plugin or the theme is responsible, and which PHP and WordPress versions this plugin runs on.
-
Troubleshooting
Tabs not showing, tabs shown twice, the truncated-save guard and its
max_input_varsmessage, and page builder rendering. -
Privacy
What the plugin stores, what it sends and what the optional opt-in on activation covers.
