About this tool.
Multi Tab enhances the WordPress admin list tables by adding a simple but powerful feature: open multiple selected items in new browser tabs with a single click.
The plugin works across all post types (including WooCommerce products) and is designed to be lightweight, fast, and safe.
It uses a single, consolidated script and integrates cleanly into the admin UI without affecting frontend performance.
Features
- Works with ALL post types (posts, pages, products, custom CPTs)
- Adds a button directly in the admin list table actions area
- Opens selected items (checkboxes) in new tabs
- Lightweight: loads only in admin
- No impact on frontend performance
- Single-file architecture (simplified and maintainable)
Important Note (Browser Limitation)
Modern browsers (Chrome, Edge, etc.) may block multiple tabs opened programmatically.
Result: – First tab opens normally – Remaining tabs may be blocked by popup protection
This is expected behavior and cannot be bypassed programmatically.
Workaround: Allow popups for your domain in browser settings.

Frequently asked questions.
Why does it open only one tab?
Because modern browsers block multiple programmatic tab openings. You need to allow popups for your site.
Does it work with WooCommerce?
Yes, including products and any custom post type.
