Add Custom Tab on WooCommerce Product Page Tutorial/Guide

To display a custom tab on the WooCommerce product page, you’ll need to insert some PHP code and create a custom template. Follow these steps:

Step 1: Open Your Theme’s Functions.php

Login to the WordPress dashboard and navigate to Appearance > Theme Editor. Locate and open the functions.php file of your current theme.

Step 2: Add the Custom Tab Function

Insert the following snippet to register a new tab:

function custom_product_tab_content($tabs) {
    $tabs['custom_tab'] = array(
        'title'     => __('Custom Tab', 'your-text-domain'),
        'priority'  => 50,
        'callback'  => 'custom_tab_content'
    );
    return $tabs;
}
add_filter('woocommerce_product_tabs', 'custom_product_tab_content');

function custom_tab_content() {
    include('custom_product_tab.php');
}

Step 3: Create the Tab Template File

Now create a file named custom_product_tab.php in your theme folder. Add any HTML, images, or styling you'd like inside this file.

Step 4: Upload Your Template

Ensure custom_product_tab.php is placed in your active theme’s root directory alongside other template files.

Step 5: Style the Tab (Optional)

You can style the new tab using your theme’s CSS or include inline styles inside the template.

Step 6: Save and View the Tab

Save all changes and visit a product page on your site. Your custom tab should now be visible and functional. Tip: Consider using a child theme or custom plugin to future-proof these changes against theme updates. Always create backups before editing theme files.
