Add custom WooCommerce product tabs with per-product content, reusable templates, global tabs, and lightweight controls.

Kitgenix

Kitgenix Custom Tabs for WooCommerce lets you add product-specific custom tabs from the WooCommerce product editor, reuse saved tab templates, and duplicate existing tabs when products only need small content variations.
Designed to be lightweight and modular: 
– Add tabs per product (title, optional nickname, optional slug, optional priority/position, rich content) 
– Add global tabs that apply to every product (optional) 
– Optional shortcode processing for tab content 
– Safety limits to keep the product editor fast (max tabs per product) 
– Optional setting to hide the tab heading inside the tab content panel
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Modal-based tab editor powered by Quill rich-text editing with inline validation.</li>
<li>Saved tab templates for reusable snippets like sizing guides, warranties, ingredient lists, and care instructions.</li>
<li>Fast duplication for product tabs and global tabs so merchants can clone and tweak existing content instead of rewriting it.</li>
<li>Automatic slug generation from the tab title, with optional manual slug control when you need stable identifiers.</li>
<li>Product-specific tabs plus store-wide global tabs managed from a dedicated Global Tabs screen.</li>
<li>Templates can be inserted directly into the product editor and the Global Tabs screen without leaving the current workflow.</li>
<li>Flexible placement controls using a default position preset plus priority base/step settings for tab ordering.</li>
<li>Optional shortcode rendering inside tab content.</li>
<li>Optional hidden tab headings when you want the title to appear only on the tab label itself.</li>
<li>Cached usage stats in the Support tab so large stores can see how many products and tabs are in use without expensive queries.</li>
<li>HPOS compatibility declaration for modern WooCommerce installs.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Quick Start</h3>

<h3>External Services</h3>
This plugin can connect to the WordPress.org Plugins API when you view the shared Kitgenix admin hub page. 
It uses WordPress core’s <code>plugins_api()</code> to fetch plugin information (such as active install counts and ratings) for Kitgenix plugins, and caches results in transients. 
No customer/order/product data is sent.
<h3>Security & Privacy</h3>
<ul>
<li>Admin actions are protected with capability checks.</li>
<li>Product tab saving is protected with a plugin nonce.</li>
<li>Settings are saved via WordPress’ Settings API (options.php), which is nonce-protected by WordPress core.</li>
<li>Tab content is output with WordPress formatting and safe HTML handling.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Uninstall</h3>
On uninstall, the plugin removes: 
– The settings option 
– All saved product tab meta entries
Note: the uninstall handler does not explicitly delete short-lived transients or hub cache transients.
