The only thing I see on my front-end-page is the code I entered via admin… (is in Dutch but this doesn’t matter, I think)
And yes, the plugin is activated…
Hi from London, UK. Very good plugin, works fine with WP 3.01.
The only issue I have is that I use the_excerpt(), and the names of the tabs show up as part of it. A quick work around is to have the first tab start after x number of words, so that the tab names do not show up in the_excerpt().
It would be good to have a function (to be placed in in functions.php) which filters out of the_excerpt() anything wich is enclosed between the opening and closing bracket which signals a tab. Unfortunately, I am not good enough with PHP to write such a function.
How do I integrate this into a custom post template? I’ve tried adding the following to my template:
but that just echoes [tab:Synopsis]. do_shortcode works successfully with other shortcodes that I’ve tested in my templates, so I know its not a problem with do_shortcode().
Is there maybe some sort of add_filter() I can put in my functions.php to make this work? Perhaps because I am trying to use the shortcode before I call the_content()?
PotsTabs is not a shortcode. I want to turn it into a shortcode cause it would solve many problems. For instance, you would be able to have more than one set of tabs in the same post. The down side is that it would be impossible to have backwards compatibility…
Post tabs is inserted through a filter added to the_content . So if you do apply_filters(‘the_content’, $anystring), it will apply the tabs to $anystring.
Also, you can add this filter to any other wordpress hook. The funcition postTabs uses is postTabs_filter(). So, for instance, you could do: add_filter(‘the_excerpt’, ‘postTabs_filter’);
I love this plugin, but I have a brief question. I was trying to eliminate the border under the active link similar to how is done on this site. I have tied adding transparencies to the bottom-borders in the stylesheet, but it will make the entire bottom border disappear. I am would like to only hide it under the active one. Thanks for your attention.
Is it possible to use this plugin to separate post content and comments into tabs on single posts and display the comment count in the comments tab? Or can you direct me to a plugin or code that will do this?
I am using this plugin and everything was fine but now they are jumble around when I hover over them, making it almost impossible to click on. I haven’t made any major changed except adding a contact form on the page. Can you give me any insight on how I can fix this? thanks!! (ex: carltonseniorliving.com/locations/the-chateaus-of-pleasant-hill/)
I see a problem in your style.css file. In the line 153 there is a “a:hover {display:block}”. This is causing the tabs to break when you pass the mouse over them.
Hi,
I absolutely looove your plugin, simple but makes a big difference.
It works fine so don’t worry, I was just wondering if you could tell me how I can modify the space between tabs when they’re shown on 2 lines?
If you go here http://onsetonair.com/videos, there are 2 lines of tabs and the bottom one hides the 1st one a little, so I’d like to know how I can move the bottom one further down basically.
Hi, this was the only tab plugin I could get working correctly so great job. My titles for my tab are too long so I would like to change the heights of the tabs so they can fit properly. How can I do this?
Hi i am using your tab plugin and i am having an issue with the ul attributes. I cant find a way to take out the “>>” that appears in front of every tab. The list-style-type is set to none, as is all the background attributes.
I’m working with a site previously designed by someone else and they’re using your plugin. I think it’s great, but… where does the stylesheet code come from that determines the size of the tab headers? Can you point me in the right direction? The font looks too large for this page.
I wish I had an example to show you, but I had to take it off the site. The tabbed boxes were too wide and the formatting was quite messed up, so I had to remove it from my client’s active site.
Hi,
I think there is too much space in the content of the article. If I verify the source I see a useless paragraph above and under the text ! Why ? How can’I delete it ?
Tks your plugin is great.
For instance… http://www.cathovenelles.fr/2010/12/02/noel-2010/
I have a couple of problems when integrating Postabs plugin into my them. I am using Ctabs as one level of Tabs and then Postabs within the first tab(Worldwide Test Centres) to display country names for selection.
ONE
I cannot get rid of the padding and margin left and right of the tab titles. I have seen that the CSS rule maintext ul li rule in my style-contentpages.css file has left and right margins that are being used and I cannot seem to overide them by chaning the CSS in postabs. style.php. I have really only changed the height successfully from the default settings in style.php.
TWO
The second is why I cant get rid of the underline in the tab titles. I have tried text-decoration: none in the postabs li rule and still get them.
Sorry a third issue on the same page is that the tab titles “country names” do not display as a block. Eg. they run over two lines sometimes. Is there a way to stop this?
Hi Leo,
Thanks for your answer.
I think only you can do it. because you are the author of this plug-in. Please try for this on new version of the plug-in. We should have a few alternatives for permalink.
Sorry for bad English :-s
Thanks.
Great plugin. Can get it working fine but the only problem is that I want to display comments as reviews in a review tab.
At the moment I have 5 tabs in my posts and the comments appear at the bottom of each tab. Ideally I would like comments to appear under my revie tab only.
Would you have any idea of how this could be done?
Hi Leo I am having a problem where the tab content is not displaying properly.
I have tried another tab plugin and it seems to work fine with that one.
The particular issue is with the gallery images. The first tab displays them normally but when clicking on another tab the image organization is wrong.
I took a quick look at your link but could not find exactly what it is. My guess is that something in the javascript of the gallery plugin is not acting as it should in the pictures that are the hidden tab. Need some more investigation to find a work around, maybe the author of the gallery plugin can help.

i have installed it ok but my tabs appear to be vertical (one on top of the other) rather than horizontal…anyone got an idea where Im going wrong?
Tres intéressant.
It doesn’t work (WP 3.0.1).
The only thing I see on my front-end-page is the code I entered via admin… (is in Dutch but this doesn’t matter, I think)
And yes, the plugin is activated…
[tab1:uitlegtab1]
hier komt dan de info over tabblad1
[tab1:uitlegtab2]
hier komt dan de info over tabblad2
Hi Wim,
You are using the wrong syntax. Its not “[tab1:name]” its only “[tab:name]”
Leo,,
Leo,
thanks. I wear glasses, but maybe there not strong enough…
Now it works perfectly !
Wim
Does not seem to work with 2 distinct tab area. Is it supposed to ? It shows both list of tabs in the same menu.
This is for a bilingual website, so there is a tabbed part for each language.
Is it possible to insert images into the tabs? Perhaps through adding css to the .php files or what?
Thanks.

Greetings…
Why do I have big gaps between each tab instead of having them close together?

Line 85 of your style.css file: #content li {margin-left:25px;}

Actually the plugin does not hide the bottom line, what it does is set the line color to the background color
Nice plugin!

Hi, so would this not work for the wp e-commerce description? Is there anyway to activate this?
Hi Leo,
Thanks very much for this easy to use and integrate tabbed panel plugin. I set it up in minutes and like it very much.
I would like to be able to change the css on the options page, but that isn’t meant to be a moan.
I finish with a positive thumbs up.

Hi i am using your tab plugin and i am having an issue with the ul attributes. I cant find a way to take out the “>>” that appears in front of every tab. The list-style-type is set to none, as is all the background attributes.
http://artmenstudios.com/home-2/
I was also wondering if it is possible to list the tabs as a vertical menu.
Finally, is it possible to insert the tabs in an element other than the content section (such as the header/footer/nav bar)?
Correction, the link is http://artmenstudios.com/home-3/
I couldnt find where the >> is beeing inserted, but its definetly somewhere in your theme’s css.
I found other things:
style.css – line 198 (remove the text-indent property and the titles wont break in two lines)
This plugin only works inside the content.
Maybe if you play a lot with css you will be able to display the tabs as a vertical menu…
Leo,,
Thank you.
Tem como colocar as tabs ao lado do post?
Caso o plugin não possa fazer isso, se eu encontrar alguém que faça, ele pode fazer?

Any plans to update this for compatibility with WP 3+? I want to upgrade, but your plugin is the only one not compatible.
Hi Rich,
It should work on WordPress 3+. Give it a try on a test environment
Leo,,

Love it, and so far it is the only one that works.
How do I get your tabs to space out more vertically (more vertical padding). I have multiple tabs that are overlapping each other on many lines.
http://www.crescentmusic.com/pricing/graphic-design-pricing/
And how can I force it to keep tabs from splitting when they have more words?

hi leogermani
thanks for the awesome plugin
but i have a one question that can i change the tabs permalink url ?
i want put tab name on tabs permalink url
domainnane/postname.html?postTabs=1 to domainnane/postname.html?tabname
it is very important for me
pleaseee write an answer
Hi,
This limit does not exist. Probably our theme’s css is hiding the tabs that are exceeding the widget of your content
Leo,,
Hi Enes,
Currently its not possible. But it would be if you or anyone else helped out with a little code for the plugin.
Have a look at WordPress Rewrite Rules

Hi PC,
This is not what this plugin does. It deals only with the content of the post/page. This would be a Theme feature
Hello Leo,
I like your plugin! Thank you.
What to do about tabs which overlap when they wrap?
Kind regards,
Sandra
Hi Leo I am having a problem where the tab content is not displaying properly.
I have tried another tab plugin and it seems to work fine with that one.
The particular issue is with the gallery images. The first tab displays them normally but when clicking on another tab the image organization is wrong.
Here is an example: http://artmenstudios.com/test/
Reloading the page fixes the issue but i havent figured out any other way to fix the problem.
Hello,
First Of All I LOVE your Plugin!
I just need to ask one thing.
The Code for the Plugin Comes up Really high in the Source Code which is Bad for the SEO.
Can you please tell me how i can make it appear lower down the Order?
Thank you!
Hi Rob,
I took a quick look at your link but could not find exactly what it is. My guess is that something in the javascript of the gallery plugin is not acting as it should in the pictures that are the hidden tab. Need some more investigation to find a work around, maybe the author of the gallery plugin can help.
cheers
Thanks Leo, the gallery creator was my next guess.
The plugin is great, thanks for your work.
