Kitgenix Custom Tabs for WooCommerce

Kitgenix Custom Tabs for WooCommerce lets you add product-specific custom tabs from the WooCommerce product editor.

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

Quick Start

1. Install and activate the plugin (WooCommerce required).
2. Go to Kitgenix → Custom Tabs to configure settings.
3. Edit a product: Products → Edit → Product data → Custom Tabs.
4. Add one or more tabs, then Update the product.

Optional: add store-wide tabs under Kitgenix → Custom Tabs → Global Tabs.

Developers

Text domain:
– kitgenix-custom-tabs-for-woocommerce

Settings option:
– kitgenix_custom_tabs_for_woocommerce_settings

Settings group (Settings API):
– kitgenix_custom_tabs_for_woocommerce_settings_group

Settings keys (stored inside the option array):

– allow_shortcodes (bool/int)
– priority_base (int)
– priority_step (int)

External Services

This plugin can connect to the WordPress.org Plugins API when you view the shared Kitgenix admin hub page.
It uses WordPress core’s plugins_api() 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.

Security & Privacy

• Admin actions are protected with capability checks.
• Product tab saving is protected with a plugin nonce.
• Settings are saved via WordPress’ Settings API (options.php), which is nonce-protected by WordPress core.
• Tab content is output with WordPress formatting and safe HTML handling.

Uninstall

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.
