WooCommerce: Rename Product Description Tab Label @ Single Product Page
Product tabs show on the single product page, right below the image gallery. Tab labels are “Description”, “Additional Information”, “Reviews” by default – but what if you wish to rename them into something more relevant to your users?
Here’s a simple PHP snippet you can copy/paste into your child theme’s functions.php file to immediately change the “Description” tab name – enjoy 🙂

This code still works, unless you report otherwise. To exclude conflicts, temporarily switch to the Storefront theme, disable all plugins except WooCommerce, and test the snippet again: WooCommerce troubleshooting 101

Hi how can I make this change for just one particular product? In both the tab and heading? Many thanks man!
Just wanted to say, I’m on v4.0.1 of WooCommerce and the original code posted at the top of the page seems to be working fine for me. The mod I created for the Additional Info tab below seems ok too…?
Hey, thanks for this. Just wanted to say that the code for renaming tabs on the WooCommerce website (https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/editing-product-data-tabs/) had a bug. It would force the Additional Information tab to appear on every page even when a product had no additional information. So I added your code to my functions file, but then I also copied it and modified it slightly to make it rename the Additional Information tab as well. I put that code right under your code. Here’s what it is:
Hey Carole, thanks for your comment! Instead of “woocommerce_product_description_tab_title” try using “woocommerce_product_additional_information_tab_title”

Thank you, Rodolfo, It’s easy to implement and working like a charm.

This code does not work on woocommerce 3.8.1 anymore.. I searched online and found that the following works for my site:
// Rename a default WooCommerce tab add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'yikes_rename_default_woocommerce_tabs', 98, 1 ); function yikes_rename_default_woocommerce_tabs( $tabs ) { if ( isset( $tabs['description'] ) ) { $tabs['description']['title'] = 'My Own Text'; } return $tabs; }Hope this helps someone out there using the latest woocommerce 3.8
Thank you!

Nice!
Just what I needed! Grazie Rodolfo!
Prego 🙂

How should the code look if I want to change the Additional information tab to Size Options?
Hey Carole, thanks for your comment! Instead of “woocommerce_product_description_tab_title” try using “woocommerce_product_additional_information_tab_title”
