Custom Product Tabs Pro cannot be bought any more

The upgrade link inside the plugin points at yikesplugins.com. Checked again on 8 September 2026, that host does not respond at all: the connection fails with an SSL error. The vendor's other domain, codeparrots.com, is still online, but its page for this add-on now shows a blog listing rather than anything you can buy.

The free plugin's last release was 1.8.6 on 12 April 2025. The Pro add-on's own product page, as archived in May 2023, listed version 1.2.4 dated 17 October 2022 and 3,246 downloads.

So there is no checkout to fix and nobody to email about it. That is the whole answer.

Taken from its own product page as archived on 19 May 2023, not from memory. It was an annual licence at $29.99 for one site, $59.99 for three to five, and $119.99 for ten, including updates and support.

The short version: most of what that add-on charged for is in the free plugin here, one thing is in the paid tier, and one thing we genuinely do not do.

It is roughly three times the price, and nothing about a dead competitor makes that fair on its own. What changed is which side of the line the features sit on.

• Six of the eight features it charged for cost nothing here. Their $29.99 bought the whole list. If your reason for buying was global tabs, category rules, tab order, hiding the default tabs, dropping the tab title, or seeing which products use a tab, your bill today is zero.
• One of the eight is the paid tier — bulk assignment, here with a preview before it runs and an undo after. The 89 EUR also buys rules by attribute, price, stock, shipping class, SKU, user role and schedule, and per-brand placeholders, none of which were on their list.
• The eighth, making WordPress search find tab content, we do not do at any price.
• It is more than they charged, at every tier, and pretending otherwise would be silly. Theirs was $59.99 for three to five sites and $119.99 for ten; ours is 189 EUR for five and 349 EUR for twenty-five, plus VAT. What changed is not the price of the same thing — it is which side of the free line each feature sits on.

If the honest conclusion for your shop is "the free one is enough", that is a good outcome and the pricing page says the same thing in more detail.

Whatever you decide, and even if you never install anything of ours: deactivate the old plugin rather than deleting it. Its uninstall routine removes its own product meta, which is where your tab content lives. Deactivating is harmless. Pressing Delete is not.

The migration page covers what happens to that data in detail, including how to read it without converting anything and how to go back.

If the features you wanted are in the free column above, you do not need to buy anything from anyone.

If what you needed was the bulk editing, that is the paid tier. It costs 89 EUR a year for one site, plus VAT, and it requires the free plugin.
