[Plugin: WooCommerce – eCommerce plugin for WordPress] Disable the reviews tab

something I would like to do as well

Or for an alternative approach just add this to the top of your functions.php theme file:

remove_action( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'woocommerce_product_reviews_tab', 30);
remove_action( 'woocommerce_product_tab_panels', 'woocommerce_product_reviews_panel', 30);

Hi jrgd,

You’re welcome. No sorry I don’t really have that info but I tend to just Google around for things and then look at the code myself. The Woo guys are pretty neat coders so digging into their work isn’t so painful.

Just look at the entire plugin for the strings ‘apply_filters’ and ‘do_action’. That will give you a list of all of the things you can hook onto.

I am slowly putting interesting things I find onto my blog about it but certainly going to the woocommerce site and looking at their support/documentation sections is going to yield more fruit.

That is to say unless you have a specific requirement.. something to add to or remove in which case I can probably help you directly.

thanks
Sean

Hi pshao,

Yes there is. You would need to remove the option as mentioned above but only the panel…

remove_action( 'woocommerce_product_tab_panels', 'woocommerce_product_reviews_panel', 30);

Then you would need to write a function which worked as an intermediary:

add_action( 'woocommerce_product_tab_panels', 'sb_woocommerce_product_reviews_panel', 30);

function sb_woocommerce_product_reviews_panel() {
    global $current_user;

    if ($current_user->ID) {
        woocommerce_product_reviews_panel();
    } else {
        echo '<p>You need to login first</p>';
        wp_login_form();
    }
}

thanks
Sean

For some reason disabling the reviews tab also disables my review panel…

remove_action( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'woocommerce_product_reviews_tab', 30 );
//remove_action( 'woocommerce_product_tab_panels', 'woocommerce_product_reviews_panel', 30 );

This is interesting because the other way around it works as expected; disabling the panel doesn’t display the tab:

//remove_action( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'woocommerce_product_reviews_tab', 30 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_product_tab_panels', 'woocommerce_product_reviews_panel', 30 );

Am I missing something? Note: I want to display ONLY the reviews themselves, so I also disabled the attributes and description tab:

// remove product attributes tab
remove_action( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'woocommerce_product_attributes_tab', 20 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_product_tab_panels', 'woocommerce_product_attributes_panel', 20 );

// remove product description tab
remove_action( 'woocommerce_product_tabs', 'woocommerce_product_description_tab', 10 );
remove_action( 'woocommerce_product_tab_panels', 'woocommerce_product_description_panel', 10 );
