The Custom Tabs: Per Product feature of Additional Custom Product Tabs for WooCommerce lets you add a tab to a single product, right from its edit screen. Use it for details that only apply to that one product. The free version allows one per-product tab; Product Tabs Pro lets you add several per product.
Turn the feature on #
Go to WPFactory > Product Tabs (also reachable at WooCommerce > Settings > Product Tabs) and open the Custom Tabs: Per Product section. The settings here are:
| Label | Option ID | Default | Free/Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Custom tabs: Per product (Enable section) | alg_custom_product_tabs_local_enabled |
Yes | Free |
| Enable WP editor | alg_custom_product_tabs_local_wp_editor_enabled |
Yes | Free |
| Default per product custom product tabs number | alg_custom_product_tabs_local_total_number_default |
1 | Read only in Free, editable in Pro |
When Enable WP editor is on, each tab content field uses the full WordPress visual editor. Turn it off to use a plain text area instead. Default per product custom product tabs number sets how many tab slots each product starts with; it is fixed at 1 in the free version.
Add the tab on the product #
- Edit any product. Scroll to the Custom Product Tabs meta box below the product data panel.
- Fill in the tab fields:
- Title (meta key
_alg_custom_product_tabs_title_local_1): the tab heading. Shortcodes are allowed. - ID (
_alg_custom_product_tabs_id_local_1): a unique key, defaults tolocal_1. - Position (
