  • Re-order tabs using drag and drop.
  • Re-order, hide or rename the default product tabs.
  • Include tab content in product search results.
  • Display tabs horizontally or vertically as an accordion.
  • Add multiple types from the 'Edit Product' screen or centrally.

This page contains documentation on how to use the free version of the plugin. There is separate documentation for the premium version.

FAQ

How do I change the order of the tabs?

You can use the 'Priority' field to control the order of each tab in the free version. Enter a number in the priority field for each tab, bearing in mind the priorities which WooCommerce has already assigned to its default tabs:

  • Description tab - Priority 10
  • Additional Information tab - Priority 20
  • Reviews tab - Priority 30

The lowest number tab will appear first on the product page. For example, if you want to add a new tab before the Description then set its priority to something like 5.

For a more user-friendly way to change the order of your tabs, upgrade to premium. This comes with an easy drag-and-drop interface for re-ordering your product page tabs.
