php - Close WooCommerce Product Tabs by default

Question

By default Product Tabs in WooCommerce auto opens the first one. Is it possible to have them all closed by default, requiring you to click it to see more?

I have tried the following code, but it does not seem to do it. Perhaps there is a PHP code that does it or something simple?

I already tried this without luck:

setTimeout(function() {
    var $tabs = jQuery( '.wc-tabs, ul.tabs' ).first();
    $tabs.parent().find('#tab-description').hide();
    $tabs.parent().find( '.tab-title-description' ).removeClass('active');
}, 10);

Updated - You should try instead:

// Conditional Show hide checkout fields based on chosen shipping methods
add_action( 'wp_footer', 'close_all_product_tabs' );
function close_all_product_tabs(){
    // Only on single product pages
    if( ! is_product() ) return;
    ?>
    <script>
        jQuery(function($){
            setTimeout(function() {
                $('#tab-description').hide( function(){
                    $( 'li#tab-title-description' ).removeClass('active');
                });
            }, 200);
        });
    </script>
    <?php
}

This code goes in function.php file of your active child theme (or theme) or also in any plugin file.

Tested and works

This is an edit specifically to the authors theme structure which is customized:

    jQuery(function($){
        jQuery(function($){
            setTimeout(function() {
                $('#tab-description').hide( function(){
                    $( 'li#description_tab' ).removeClass('active');
                });
            }, 200);
        });
    });

Now in your theme, there is specifically a <div> container for all your content tabs, that WooCommerce don't have by default:

<div class="tab-panels">

This container has a grey border and some padding, so when you hide the description tab, it stays empty like a white flat rectangle with a grey border, which is not very nice. so you should need to hide it or to give him 0 opacity

To hide it You can handle this in many other ways using:

- `$('div.tab-panels').addClass('hidden');` and some CSS rules for this 'hidden' class
- `$('div.tab-panels').css('opacity', '0');`
- `$('div.tab-panels').css('visibility', 'hidden');`

Once hidden, you will need to make it visible when a button is clicked (and this is the harder part):

- `$('div.tab-panels').removeClass('hidden');`
- `$('div.tab-panels').css('opacity', '1');`
- `$('div.tab-panels').css('visibility', 'visible');`

The hardest thing will be to get the click event to trigger this…
