How can I change the product page tab titles in WordPress?

Changing the product page tab titles in WordPress, particularly within WooCommerce, can be achieved through several methods. Here's a breakdown of common approaches:

1. Using a WordPress Filter (Recommended):

- The most flexible and recommended method is to use the woocommerce_product_tabs filter. This allows you to modify the tab titles programmatically.

- Add the following code to your theme's functions.php file or a custom plugin:

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'rename_product_tabs', 98 );
function rename_product_tabs( $tabs ) {
  if ( isset( $tabs['description'] ) ) {
    $tabs['description']['title'] = 'Product Details'; // Rename the Description tab
  }
  if ( isset( $tabs['reviews'] ) ) {
    $tabs['reviews']['title'] = 'Customer Feedback'; // Rename the Reviews tab
  }
  if ( isset( $tabs['additional_information'] ) ) {
    $tabs['additional_information']['title'] = 'Specifications'; // Rename the Additional Information tab
  }
  return $tabs;
}

- In this code, 'description', 'reviews', and 'additional_information' are the default tab keys. You can change the corresponding titles to your desired text.

2. Using a Plugin:

- Several plugins are available that allow you to customize WooCommerce product tabs without writing code. Search for plugins like "WooCommerce Tab Manager" or similar in the WordPress plugin repository.

- These plugins often provide a user-friendly interface to rename, reorder, or even add custom tabs.

3. Directly Modifying Template Files (Not Recommended):

- While possible, directly modifying WooCommerce template files is generally not recommended because it can be overwritten during updates. If you choose this route, you'll need to copy the relevant template file (usually found in /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/templates/single-product/tabs/) to your theme's directory and make changes there.

- However, using filters or plugins is a safer and more maintainable approach.

4. Considerations:

- Always use a child theme when making changes to your theme's files to prevent losing your modifications during theme updates.

- Test your changes thoroughly to ensure they work as expected and don't cause any conflicts with other plugins or your theme.

By using the woocommerce_product_tabs filter, you can easily and safely customize the product tab titles to better suit your website's needs and branding.
