FAQ

This free version does not have that functionality, but you can with the premium WooCommerce Tab Manager. This allows you to add multiple tabs, share tabs, edit core tabs, or re-order tab display.

The tab heading is shown before the tab content and is the same string as the tab title. An easy way to hide this is to add the following to the bottom of your theme’s functions.php or wherever you keep custom code:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_custom_product_tabs_lite_heading', '__return_empty_string' );

Yep, there’s the woocommerce_custom_product_tabs_lite_title that passes in the tab title for you to change. This filter also passes in the $product and class instance if you’d like to change this conditionally.

Here’s how you can set one title for all custom tabs, regardless of what title is entered on the product page (can go in the bottom of functions.php or where you keep custom code):

function sv_change_custom_tab_title( $title ) {  $title = 'Global tab title';  return $title; } add_filter( 'woocommerce_custom_product_tabs_lite_title', 'sv_change_custom_tab_title' );
