The product page cannot hold everything
Shipping, a size guide, warranty or care instructions do not belong in the product description, and cramming them into one block breaks the layout and hurts readability.
- ✗ No place for shared content like shipping or warranty
- ✗ Repeating the same information on every product
- ✗ HTML stuffed into the description breaks the page layout
- ✗ Risk of unsafe markup in custom content
Tabvera adds tidy, organised tabs
- ✓ Global tabs defined once and shown on every product
- ✓ Individual tabs enabled or disabled without deleting them
- ✓ Safe HTML sanitised with wp_kses_post
- ✓ Renders via the woocommerce_product_tabs filter, theme friendly

Frequently asked questions
Does it require WooCommerce?
Yes. Tabvera requires an active WooCommerce installation and declares it as a required plugin. Tabs are injected through the woocommerce_product_tabs filter, so there is nothing to hook into without WooCommerce. With WooCommerce inactive, the plugin renders no tabs.
What HTML is allowed in tab content?
The same safe subset WordPress allows in post content (wp_kses_post): links, lists, headings, bold and italic, images and blockquotes. Content is sanitised both on save and again when rendered on the front end. Scripts and unsafe markup are stripped at both steps.
Where do the custom tabs appear?
On the single product page tab list, after the native WooCommerce tabs (Description, Additional information, Reviews). Tabvera hooks the woocommerce_product_tabs filter at priority 100 and above, while the native tabs use priorities 10-30. Tab order follows the order set on the settings screen.
Can I reuse the same tab on many products?
Yes. Every tab defined under WooCommerce > Tabvera Tabs is global and appears on every single product page. You define it once, and editing its content updates all products at the same time. You can disable an individual tab without deleting it.
Is tab content safe?
Yes. Content is sanitised with wp_kses_post on save and again on render, so only a safe HTML subset is allowed. Scripts and unsafe markup are stripped, and all text on the settings screen is escaped. Tabvera connects to no external services and sends no data off your site.
Does Tabvera clash with my theme?
It should not. Tabvera renders through the standard WooCommerce woocommerce_product_tabs filter at priority 100 and above, so native and third-party tabs keep their place. The admin screen uses core WordPress styling and respects the editor's light/dark preference.
How does Tabvera compare to YITH Tab Manager and Woo Tab Manager?
Tabvera is a free, open-source product tabs plugin with global tabs, per-tab toggles, a master switch, and safe HTML, adding category rules, conditional display, ordering, and icons in its paid edition from €19/yr. YITH Tab Manager is freemium with a premium tier from about €90/yr, and the official Woo Tab Manager is a paid Marketplace extension that supports category-level tabs. All three are distributed under the GPL. Pricing as of June 2026.
