Product Tabs Studio

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

  1. 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.
  2. Open any product, go to the Product data box and choose the Product Tabs panel to add a tab to that product.
  3. Go to Products → Product Tabs to write a tab once and show it on many products.
  4. 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_vars message, and page builder rendering.

  • Privacy

    What the plugin stores, what it sends and what the optional opt-in on activation covers.
