WooCommerce & WordPress Plugin Docs

Getting started

Dieser Inhalt ist noch nicht in deiner Sprache verfügbar.

Tabby is ready to use as soon as WooCommerce is active. Adding your first tab takes a minute, there is no wizard and no template to build.

Before you start

Section titled “Before you start”
  • WordPress 6.5 or newer
  • WooCommerce 8.0 or newer (HPOS and Cart/Checkout Blocks are both declared compatible)
  • PHP 8.1 or newer

If WooCommerce is inactive, Tabby stays dormant and shows an admin notice instead of registering anything.

Install

Section titled “Install”
  1. Install WooCommerce and make sure it is active.
  2. Install Tabby from the plugin directory (when live on WordPress.org) or upload the tabby folder to /wp-content/plugins/.
  3. Activate the plugin. On first run Tabby seeds its default settings (tabby_settings) once, without overwriting an existing configuration.

Add your first tab

Section titled “Add your first tab”

Open WooCommerce → Tabby Tabs. The screen has one General section with the master Enable Tabby toggle (on by default), and a Tabs section with a repeating list of tab rows.

In the first tab row:

  • Tab title, the label shown in the product tab strip, for example Shipping & returns. Keep it short; it sits beside native labels like Description. A row left with a blank title is dropped when you save, so this field is effectively required.
  • Enabled, leave ticked to show this tab on the storefront, or untick to keep the row but hide just this tab.
  • Tab content, the body of the tab. It accepts the same safe, limited HTML WordPress allows in a post (links, lists, headings, bold/italic, images, blockquotes). Scripts and unsafe markup are stripped on save.

Click Add tab to add more rows, or the × on a row to remove it. Then Save changes.

Each saved tab is given a stable slug derived from its title, used internally as the tab key; you never edit the slug yourself.

Confirm on the storefront

Section titled “Confirm on the storefront”
  1. Open any single product page.
  2. Your tab appears in the product tab strip, after Description, Additional information and Reviews.
  3. Click it and confirm the content renders. Tabby’s panels carry a goldenrod index-divider edge on the inside margin so you can tell them from the native panels at a glance.

Tabs show on every product, there is nothing to enable per product.

If a tab does not appear

Section titled “If a tab does not appear”
  • Check the master Enable Tabby toggle is on, and the individual tab’s Enabled box is ticked.
  • A tab whose title was blank on save was discarded, re-add it with a title.
  • A tab with a title but empty content still shows (as just its heading); add content to fill it.

Free vs Pro

Section titled “Free vs Pro”

The free edition covers reusable global tabs, the master and per-tab enable toggles, and safe HTML content, the complete custom-tabs product.

Tabby Pro is planned for per-product tabs, tab ordering and category scoping. It is not required for the basic custom tabs above.
