FAQ

Upload the Tabs Widget for Page Builder plugin to your WordPress site, Activate it, and that’s it.

Once you activate it, the “Tabs Widget for Page Builder” widget will be available in your Page Builder editor.

If for example the first tab always remains active, than this is an indicator that your theme (or another plugin) is using an older version of Twitter Bootstrap. In this plugin we use the Bootstrap version 4.x, so some HTML is different from the older versions (v3.x, v2.x). You can solve this by adding the bellow code to your theme functions.php file:

add_filter( 'pt-tabs/use_older_bootstrap_layout', '__return_true' );

Also make sure that you have the latest version of this Tabs widget plugin.
