FAQ

Does Langeto require WooCommerce?

Yes. Langeto adds tabs to the WooCommerce single product page and requires an active WooCommerce installation (8.0 or later). If WooCommerce is missing, Langeto stays dormant and shows an admin notice rather than registering anything.

Where do the custom tabs appear?

In the single product page tab strip, after the native WooCommerce tabs (Description, Additional information, Reviews). They appear on every product. There is no setting to move them before the native tabs, Langeto hooks woocommerce_product_tabs at a late priority on purpose, so native and third-party tabs keep their place.

Can I add a tab to just one product?

Not in the free plugin. Langeto’s tabs are global, each one shows on every product. Langeto Pro adds category rules and conditional display. In the free edition you can still hide a single tab everywhere with its Enabled toggle, but not on one product only.

What HTML is allowed in tab content?

The same safe subset WordPress allows in post content, via wp_kses_post: links, lists, headings, bold/italic, images, blockquotes and similar. Scripts, iframes and unsafe markup are stripped on save, so they never reach the database. On output the content is sanitised again and run through wpautop, so line breaks become paragraphs, unless Shortcodes and blocks in tabs is on, in which case the render pass is the_content instead.

How do I hide a tab without deleting it?

Untick the tab’s Enabled box on WooCommerce > Langeto Tabs and save. The row stays with its content intact but does not render. To hide every tab at once, turn off the master Enable Langeto toggle.

Is there a shortcode to place a tab in a page?

No. Langeto registers no shortcode of its own. Tabs appear automatically in the product tab strip; you do not insert them into page or post content.

Can I put a shortcode or a block inside a tab?

Yes, once Shortcodes and blocks in tabs is ticked on WooCommerce > Langeto Tabs. It is off by default: without it, a tab body goes through wp_kses_post and wpautop, and a shortcode is printed as the literal text you typed. With it on, the body runs through the_content instead, so shortcodes execute and block markup renders, along with every other filter attached to post content.

If Langeto Pro is active, its own rich-content switch decides instead of this one, in both directions.

Will Langeto conflict with my theme or other tab plugins?

It is unlikely. Langeto renders through the standard woocommerce_product_tabs filter, the same mechanism themes and other plugins use, and appends its tabs at a late priority (100+), so tabs merge into one strip rather than overwriting each other.

Can I restyle the tab panels?

Yes, with CSS. The panels expose --tabby-* custom properties (the index-divider edge colour, its width, the gutter and animation timing) scoped to ids starting with tab-tabby_. Override them in your theme stylesheet. There is no PHP template to copy, see Configuration.

Does Langeto slow down the product page or shift the layout?

No. Tabs are rendered server-side into the existing tab markup, so there is no layout shift. The only front-end asset is a small stylesheet, loaded only on single product pages and only while Langeto is enabled. No JavaScript or jQuery is added to the storefront.

Where is tab data stored, and how do I remove it?

Everything lives in one option, tabby_settings; a second option, tabby_db_version, tracks the schema version. Langeto creates no custom tables and writes no post meta. Deleting the plugin from the Plugins screen removes both options. Nothing is stored off-site.

Is there a Pro edition?

Langeto Pro adds category rules, custom tab order, icons and conditional display, and carries its own switch for rich tab content (the capability itself is in the free plugin, and Pro’s switch overrides the free one while Pro is active). The base plugin already exposes the tabby/resolved_tabs filter those features build on. The free edition is the complete global-tabs product.
