How to remove woocommerce tab?

Question

the products in our woocommerce shop don't need any of the default tabs so I have managed to disable them being that I only need to have the product description below the product however, while I want to keep the actual description, I believe the tab itself is redundant since there aren't any other tabs.

Basically, I want to remove the tab's & title altogether but keep the content box below it without modifying the woocommerce core php template file. Is there a way to add a filter to my WordPress theme's functions.php?

function woocommerce_default_product_tabs( $tabs = array() ) {
    global $product, $post;

    // Description tab - shows product content
    if ( $post->post_content ) {
        $tabs['description'] = array(
            'title'    => __( 'Description', 'woocommerce' ),
            'priority' => 10,
            'callback' => 'woocommerce_product_description_tab'
        );
    }

Answer 1

Using a combination of the answers above, nesting the function within the action so you can use within a conditional:

add_action( 'wp', 'custom_remove_tabs_by_tag' );
function custom_remove_tabs_by_tag() {
if ( is_product() && has_term( 'tag-term', 'product_tag' ) ) 
{    
    // Remove All Product Tabs
    remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs', 10 );
    // Add Product Description
    add_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary',
                 function () { woocommerce_get_template( 'single-product/tabs/description.php' );}, 
                 40 );
}

While CSS is great, if the stylesheet doesn't load correctly, you could end up showing someone tabs without meaning to. It is best to remove the content before loading (server side), by using a filter, as you had mentioned.

See code below as provided from Woothemes for unsetting data tabs.
EDIT Place within the functions.php file inside your theme.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'woo_remove_product_tabs', 98 );

function woo_remove_product_tabs( $tabs ) {
    unset( $tabs['description'] );          // Remove the description tab
    unset( $tabs['reviews'] );          // Remove the reviews tab
    unset( $tabs['additional_information'] );   // Remove the additional information tab
    return $tabs;
}

EDIT As noted by @BasvanDijk To remove altogether, you can use the following

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', '__return_empty_array', 98 );

Answer 3

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'woo_remove_product_tabs', 98 );

function woo_remove_product_tabs( $tabs ) {
    unset( $tabs['description'] );          // Remove the description tab
    unset( $tabs['reviews'] );          // Remove the reviews tab
    unset( $tabs['additional_information'] );   // Remove the additional information tab
    return $tabs;
}

function woocommerce_template_product_description() {
    woocommerce_get_template( 'single-product/tabs/description.php' );
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary',  'woocommerce_template_product_description', 40 );

This work for me with the contributions i got here. Other than removing the tab and also to place back the text.

Excuse me but the question is not only removing tabs but also keeping the product description. If you ever tried the code above you would realize that while removing tabs you are actually removing the product description. And this is not the desired case.

You should somewhere add the following code to add it back. But unfortunately this time you can add the description side by side the picture and making a narrow column. I couldn't find the solution to add it nicely below the picture where the tabs existed before. The code:

function woocommerce_template_product_description() {
    woocommerce_get_template( 'single-product/tabs/description.php' );
}

add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary',  'woocommerce_template_product_description', 40 );

for some reason the code to add to functions.php file did not work for me, even tho it is in the woo commerce codex.

I was getting lots of comment spam to these products that showed reviews.

in the end I manually removed the review tab from all the products using built in wordpress/woocommerce functionality.

1. go to the product lising page
2. click the checkbox to select all products (it will only select the products on this page so you may have to go thru several pages to repeat)
3. from the bulk actions drop down, select edit
4. click apply
5. you will now see all the bulk edit actions you can do. Choose the "comments" drop down, and select "Do not allow"
6. click update
7. make sure to delete any cache if using a caching plugin

Here is the working code:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'wcs_woo_remove_reviews_tab', 98 );
function wcs_woo_remove_reviews_tab($tabs) {
unset($tabs['reviews']);
return $tabs;
}

If you want to remove tabs from woo-commerce product details page, then add this code in your function.php

Option 1-

Go to functions.php and Add the following code. (Go to Admin panel > Appearance > Editor > functions.php)

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'woo_remove_tabs', 98 );
function woo_remove_tabs( $tabs ){
    if(is_product()){
      unset( $tabs['description'] ); // Remove the description tab
      unset( $tabs['reviews'] ); // Remove the reviews tab
      unset( $tabs['additional_information'] ); // Remove the additional information tab
      }
  return $tabs;
 }

By using this filter we can Remove the tabs From the Woocommerce Product Pages.

Option 2-

Or for an alternative approach just add this to your functions.php

remove_action( 'woocommerce_after_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs', 10);

Option 3-

Hide the tab by adding this to the bottom of woocommerce.css

 .woocommerce_tabs .tabs {
    display: none;
}
