FAQ

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.

It is possible to include tabs within a text widget if you have added shortcode support to text widgets by adding the filter below to your child theme’s functions.php or a custom functionality plugin.

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

This filter will enable you to use any shortcodes within text widgets.

This is used just like any other URL parameter in a query string so you need to use a valid structure for the query string.

If there’s already a parameter in a query string, including the one included in the url when not using ‘pretty’ permalinks, subsequent parameters must be appended using an ampersand.
eg:

yoursite.com/?page_id=1&target=phone-numbers
