Every WooCommerce product page shows a set of content sections below the product, such as the Description and the Reviews. Rey lets you control how these are displayed, rename or reorder them, and add your own. This article explains how.
Tabs or Blocks? What Rey adds
By default, WooCommerce groups the product content into tabs: a row of buttons (Description, Additional information, Reviews) where only one panel is visible at a time, and visitors click to switch between them.
Rey extends this with a Layout switch, so you can choose how that same content is presented:
- Blocks (Rey’s default): each section is stacked one below another, down the page, and all are visible at once, each with its own heading.
- Tabs: the classic WooCommerce tabbed switcher, where visitors click a button to reveal each panel.
You’ll find it in Settings › WooCommerce › Product Page › Tabs & Blocks › Layout.
This is why you’ll see the wording “tabs/blocks” throughout Rey: it is the same content, just shown either as tabs or as stacked blocks. Switching the Layout does not change what is inside, only how it looks.
There is also a third way to present this content: as collapsible accordions inside the product summary, right next to the price and Add to cart button. That is a separate feature, see Related information at the end.
The built-in sections
Out of the box you get:
- Description: the main product description.
- Specifications: WooCommerce’s “Additional information”, auto-filled from the product’s attributes (renamed to “Specifications” in Rey).
- Reviews: product reviews and ratings.
- Custom Information: an extra section Rey adds, for any free content you want.
To enable Custom Information, go to Settings › WooCommerce › Product Page › Tabs & Blocks › Information and turn it on. You can write its content globally there (eg: screenshot), and override it (or disable it) for an individual product from the product’s edit screen (eg: screenshot). Please visit this article for more information.
To rename, reorder (via each section’s Priority value), or turn any of these on and off, use the same Settings › WooCommerce › Product Page › Tabs & Blocks screen.
Add your own Custom Tabs (Blocks)
You can add as many extra sections as you like (eg: screenshot):
- Go to Settings › WooCommerce › Product Page › Tabs & Blocks › Custom Tabs.
- Add a tab, then give it a Title, a Priority (controls its order among the others), and optional Default Content (eg: screenshot).
Because of the Layout switch above, everything you add here appears as a tab or as a block automatically, matching the layout you picked. No extra setup needed.
Add or edit custom tabs per product
The Default Content is shared by every product. To set content for one specific product, or to add a tab that only that product has:
- Edit the product in the WordPress backend.
- Open the Custom Tabs/Blocks tab in the product’s data panel.
- Add a row, choose Custom Tab, then fill in the Title and Content. From here you can also override a global tab’s content, or disable a tab for this product only.

The same product content can also be shown as collapsible accordions inside the product summary, next to the price and Add to cart button. You can even create custom accordion items and insert dynamic data per product. See Add Accordions to the Product Summary.
