Export and Import tabs

Plugin does not have separate export import feature because core export/import feature will work itself for tabs also. XML can be generate using “Tools” -> “Export”. And that XML can be imported in another site using normal WordPress importer. It is important to be WooCommerce and WooCommerce Product Tabs plugins be activated in the new site before importing XML.

Hi Nilambar, thank you for your answer.

But I’m not moving the books from a wordpress website to another. The old website is old technology, so I’m taking all information about the books – 600 of them! – into a csv file. I know that most information – for example the name, price, atributes – can be imported to the import on the products of wordpress if I follow a specific columns naming. I was wondering if I can also import the tab information, specifying some columns with that information on the csv. Otherwise I have to manually input the information on the 3 tabs I want (synopsis, index and special information) manually on the wordpress panel – after importing everything except that trough the csv. But I have 600 books! That’s a ton of work!!

@franciscoferreira182 This is probably way too late to help you but I suspect if you have access to your database, you could insert the tab contents directly into the wp_postmeta table, post_id is the one of the product it relates to, meta_key would be ‘_wpt_field_synopsis’ or similar (create the tabs first! And maybe enter them onto one product and check the exact meta_key names) and meta_value is the tab contents. I’ll test this theory on a test site soon, but I note it here in case it helps someone in the future.

It might break stuff and mixing the tabs into the import would be way safer, but sometimes that’s a nuisance. And does the WXR importer import woocommerce products in full? What happens to duplicates? I don’t know yet.
