Question No. 1

A user has standard accordion style WooCommerce website which displays sub-headers for the current category but hides the sub-headers of other non-active categories. He wants to change the style of active categories and leave the tabs of non-active categories exactly the same. When he applies this code, it affects all the categories.
.cat-item cat-item-17 current-cat cat-parent {
    color: #20dbfc!;
}

Answer

Do not include too many classes and apply the custom rule to only current class. Use this code
.current-cat {
    color: #20dbfc!;
}

Question No. 2

A user has a lot of tabs on product pages some includes PDF links and some tabs contains website links. He wants to find the PDF link within each tab and add the class pdf-icon to them. This class would have this CSS.
.pdf-icon::before {
  content: url(image.png) " ";
}
He wants to it with PHP or JavaScript

Answer

Basically, it assumes half as a URL and cycles through links on the page looking for the .pdf section. Apply this code.


 type="text/css">
    .myclass { color: red; }
   

Find PDF Links

  1. href="page1.pdf">example1.pdf
  2. href="page1.pdf">example2.pdf
  3. href="page1.html">example3.html
  4. href="page1.pdf">example4.pdf
type="text/javascript"> var i, links = document.getElementsByTagName('a'); for(i=0; i<links.length; i++) { if (links[i].href.match(/.pdf/ig)) links[i].className = 'myclass'; }

Question No. 3

A user wants to display attribute value in WooCommerce custom tab and the attribute name is a specification. He applied following code but failed.

add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'woo_new_product_tab' );
function woo_new_product_tab( $tabs ) {
    // Adds the new tab 
    $tabs['test_tab'] = array(
        'title'    => __( 'Features', 'woocommerce' ),
        'priority' => 50,
        'callback' => 'woo_new_product_tab_content'
    );
    return $tabs;
}
function woo_new_product_tab_content() {
    // The new tab content
    $pa_value = get_post_meta( $product->id, 'pa_specification', true );
    echo $pa_value; 
}

Answer

Below is the right code to use.
function woo_new_product_tab_content() {
    // The new tab content    
    global $post; 

    $product_id = $post->ID;

    $product = new WC_Product( $product_id );

    $pa_value = $product->get_attribute('pa_specification'); 

    echo $pa_value; 

}

Question No. 4

A user wants to show product tabs in category page and he applied following code but failed to do that.
add_action( 'woocommerce_single_product_summary', 'woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs', 60 );

Answer

For this purpose, use action hook "woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item".
add_action('woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'woocommerce_output_product_data_tabs', 20);
This code will work for you but the formatting is a mess. Add custom CSS make desired tab function.

Question No. 5

Answer:

You are using hook woocommerce_product_tabs 4 times. Use it for one time and merge 4 hooked functions in one. Use below code
add_filter( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'woo_custom_product_tabs' );
function woo_custom_product_tabs( $tabs ) {

    // 1) Removing tabs

    unset( $tabs['description'] );              // Remove the description tab
    // unset( $tabs['reviews'] );               // Remove the reviews tab
    unset( $tabs['additional_information'] );   // Remove the additional information tab


    // 2 Adding new tabs

    //Attribute Description tab
    $tabs['attrib_desc_tab'] = array(
        'title'     => __( 'Desc', 'woocommerce' ),
        'priority'  => 100,
        'callback'  => 'woo_attrib_desc_tab_content'
    );

    // Adds the qty pricing  tab
    $tabs['qty_pricing_tab'] = array(
        'title'     => __( 'Quantity Pricing', 'woocommerce' ),
        'priority'  => 110,
        'callback'  => 'woo_qty_pricing_tab_content'
    );

    // Adds the other products tab
    $tabs['other_products_tab'] = array(
        'title'     => __( 'Other Products', 'woocommerce' ),
        'priority'  => 120,
        'callback'  => 'woo_other_products_tab_content'
