Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Tabby Responsive Tabs
There are a few things you can investigate when troubleshooting any plugin which is not working as expected: Incorrectly formed shortcodes If you copied & pasted in the Tabby Responsive Tabs shortcodes from a web page showing an example usage rather than directly typing them into the page, it is possible that there may be invisible or invalid characters in the shortcode text, or the shortcodes are enclosed within code tags. Correct this by deleting the shortcodes and type them directly instead. Plugin or theme conflicts To troubleshoot whether a plugin or theme is conflicting with the Tabby Responsive Tabs plugin on your site, install the health check and troubleshooting plugin and use the troubleshooting mode. If the plugin isn't working for you, please read the documentation carefully to check whether your issue is covered. Then review the topics in the plugin support forum. You may find an appropriate solution outlined in a resolved topic if someone previously posted the same or a similar issue. If you do not find an answer that enables you to solve your issue, please post a new topic on the forum so we have an opportunity to get it working before you consider leaving a review.
You can receive free support for the plugin if you have problems getting it working. To access this please open a new topic on the plugin support forum all communication must take place on the forum for free support. Please note that CSS support for customization of the tab display is not within the scope of the free support that can be provided. If you require a greater level of support than can be provided on the plugin support forum on WordPress.org - eg you prefer not to post the url, or if you require CSS support to change how your tabs appear on your site, you can request non-free support via the paid email support form for cubecolour plugins form.
These extra tags are often be added by WordPress's wpautop function. It is recommended to leave a blank line before and after each tabby shortcode to prevent these from appearing. Pasted-in shortcodes aren't working or the tabs have a 'stepped' appearance If you are copying & pasting the example shortcodes into the visual editor and the shortcodes don't seem to be working or the tabs appear in a stepped configuration, look at the page in the text editor to be sure that you aren't adding in any extra markup that isn't visible in the visual editor. Delete any opening and closing <pre> and/or <code> tags pairs surrounding the tab shortcodes. (this would apply to any plugin using shortcodes).
In your your WordPress admin, go to settings -> tabby and uncheck the "Include the default tabby stylesheet" checkbox.
The admin page is at settings => tabby. If you want to be able to customise the tabs without editing code, the Tabby Responsive Tabs Customiser plugin is available, and provides options to customise how the tabs display.
Yes
The recommended method for experienced developers to customise how the tabs display is to copy the css rules from the plugin's stylesheet into the child theme's stylesheet and then customise the colours and other CSS as required. When using customised version of the plugin's styles in the child theme, you should also prevent the plugin's default built-in styles from loading by going to settings -> tabby in your WordPress admin, and uncheck the "Include the default tabby stylesheet" checkbox. If you prefer to use a settings page in your WordPress admin to set a custom tab style, you can use the Tabby Responsive Tabs Customiser plugin which contains several tab style presets which can be further customised with a comprehensive set of easy to set options. The customiser plugin was designed to be easy for non-developers to use to customise how the tabs display.
Yes, you can see where that is set in the plugin's CSS. Refer to the answer above about using custom css to use a custom value. This value can also be set using the Tabby Responsive Tabs Customiser plugin's admin panel.
This can be caused by WordPress's wpautop filter being applied to the post/page content. To prevent stray paragraph tags appearing, leave a blank line before and after each shortcode.
Yes you can have as many sets of tabs as you like.
