About This Plugin
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.
