Biggest opportunity: Swap “product tabs” for “woocommerce tab manager”. “product tabs” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “woocommerce tab manager” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

1.4%

of downloads still active

At least 500 of 35.2K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median eCommerce plugin keeps 1.4%, across 5,169 plugins.

Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other eCommerce plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

This plugin shipped 1 release in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

    I am so excited. I finally found the plugin I wanted. I spent almost a week looking for the right product tab plugin. WPB is the best. Let me tell you why. It meets many of my requirements. Irman’s online help is very fast. I can’t believe that it only costs more than 40 US dollars and I can use it forever! I use woodmart and elementor. Woodmart cannot add more than 3 tabs, and you cannot apply tabs to a category with one click. WPB can not only apply tabs to categories, individual products, and tags with one click, but also add them on the product edit page without the need for the WPB page. It can also adjust the order. The best thing is that you can edit the page with elementor and it supports WPML. WPB is really great and deserves to be known by more people. In addition, if you want vertical tabs like me, please try this plugin. Although there are not many custom styles to choose from for vertical, it can indeed cover the annoying tabs style of woodmart. I tried many tab plugins and failed. Only WPB succeeded. I am happy for my week’s hard work. In addition, under my suggestion, the tab optimization of mobile pages will also be launched soon. I wish you all the best.

    Weak text editing settings. For example, even the font can not be marked bold.

    After several years of buying WordPress plugins, I have formulated the golden rule “Don’t buy it unless it is sold via Code Canyon” (having been caught with rubbish products from private direct sellers several times). Sadly, I broke my rule with this plugin, with the inevitable result. After purchasing it, I was unable to log in to retrieve my licence key, despite following instructions from the plugin website. Instead of an “Account” area, I was logged in to a normal WordPress User account which had no details of the plugin purchase at all. An email from support stated that they had logged in to my account and could see the purchase details. However, I was still unable to access the account even after following their instructions, and I subsequently sent a further email with screen shots attached showing the exact procedure I had followed for the login process. That was five days ago, and I have still not had a reply. To make matters worse, the plugin failed to deliver in several aspects (e.g. in Accordion mode all tabs freeze in the open position, the default Woocommerce tabs still appear despite ticking the box to hide them, the default colours for the vertical tab theme remain the same despite changing them to different colours to match my theme). For the reasons given above I have lost interest in this plugin and abandoned it. My advice to prospective purchasers? Do the same. This topic was modified 7 years, 7 months ago by mc1969.

    Had an issue/conflict with my theme and the developers/support addressed it very quickly and released an update – like within an hour. Now it works great. This is a great plugin – works brilliantly.
