Hi,

is it somehow possible in this theme to simply change the text of the default product page tabs to a different one?

For example I want to rename “Additional Information” to “Specifications”

Attached the screenshot:

thank you. That will definitely help.

But these mention only the default tabs. Can you please let me know, how to add a line for the custom tabs created with your theme?

Renaming is easy, because I set the name of the tab when creating it. But when I want to change the order, I need to know how it is called in the theme.

For example I have created a custom tab called “Processing Time” and I would like to rearrange it to be on top of all tabs.

https://ibb.co/J2Xj7sX

Do you think the code below from Woocommerce help pages will work on this custom tab?

/**
* Reorder product data tabs
*/
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_product_tabs’, ‘woo_reorder_tabs’, 98 );
function woo_reorder_tabs( $tabs ) {

$tabs[‘processing_time’][‘priority’] = 5; // Processing first
$tabs[‘description’][‘priority’] = 10; // Description second
$tabs[‘additional_information’][‘priority’] = 15; // Additional information third
$tabs[‘reviews’][‘priority’] = 20; // Reviews fourth

return $tabs;
}

one note is, that when I tried just to rename the default tabs based on the woocommerce tutorial, I get fatal errors from your theme

I have used the following snippet in my child theme functions.php

/**
* Rename product data tabs
*/
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_product_tabs’, ‘woo_rename_tabs’, 98 );
function woo_rename_tabs( $tabs ) {

$tabs[‘additional_information’][‘title’] = __( ‘Specifications’ ); // Rename the additional information tab

return $tabs;

}

unfortunately there are still a lot of fatal errors resulting from the tabs.php snippet that you have added. Today I even had to login via recovery mode into my backend of the website.

can you please check?

Kind regards

Hello,

1/ Changing the title of tab works as it should ( https://prnt.sc/Uk2AJfsxSV2l -> https://prnt.sc/Gf5oj5aT62yx )
2/ Login to wp dashboard does not work -> https://prnt.sc/GQHX7ZafGYDj
3/ Previously we made changes in xstore-child/woocommerce/single-product/tabs/tabs.php to make positions of custom tabs changed (moved above others) – but we could not check because
3.1/ we cannot find product with custom tabs
3.2/ edit any product is not possible due to the limited access of admin user you provided.

Could you please, write what questions do you still have and provide link for product with custom tabs to check their positions (if the fix does not work still)?

Hi,

sorry. Now the geoblocking is temporarily disabled and you can log in.

As you can see in the error message in the PM area, there is a fatal error specifically refering to the tabs.php file that you have previously changed. Maybe there is just some small error in there

only thing that I have changed is to rename “additional information” to “specifications”. I have not yet played around with the order of the tabs since just the name change is showing fatal errors.

Editing of the products should be possible once you log into the admin

Please contact administrator
for this information.

Hi

Not sure if you seen but I created a post with the easiest way to sort & rename tabs once they’re created here -> https://www.8theme.com/topic/fix-for-product-tabs-and-renaming-them-using-functions-and-css/

I’ve successfully added and renamed many tabs to the sites we look after using the functions as shown.

Good luck.

Hi there!
do you have an update for the current issue? I have noticed, that someone from your support staff has logged into my website and has deleted the error logs.

Should I consider this issue fixed?
