  1. Hello, When i try to do it it works perfectly, but the problem i get is that i can’t run the divi builder anymore it says :
    “This post does not show the standard WordPress content area. Unfortunately, that means the Divi Builder cannot be used on this post.”

    i wrote this in my child theme functions.php and it i can’t access with my divi builder anymore, do you have any others idea how to make it ? Thanks

    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;
    }

    • Sounds like Divi Builder relies upon the existence of these tabs. You probably want an expert in Divi to check this over for you – or have a try with Elegant Themes(?) support. I’m only familiar with Divi in a passing sense, in that I’ve worked with it on a few occassions, but I’m not really sure where you’d look for that.

      It certainly will be possible – but there may even be a “Divi way” to remove the tabs.

    • I’m not sure it’s related, but it looks like that the encoding of your single quote is wrong, it should be ‘ but I see in your snippet ’ … depending on the PHP version you are running it might throw errors that are blocking DIVI.

  2. In my case it does not just remove that “description” tab but also the description. I just want the tab gone but the description to stay.
