   If your theme supports shortcodes for Recent Posts, Recent Comments, etc. you can put them inside the tabs BUT - IMPORTANT!!!! - in this case the tabs MUST be included into your page/post/sidebar NOT BY SHORTCODES but by direct HTML mark up. This is because WP does not parse shortcodes inside shortcodes.

   This is exactly what I'm trying to do. I'd like to display recent posts of 3 categories in 3 separate tabs. How would you use the plugin without a shortcode?

   I've tried using another plugin "shortcoder" to place a shortcode inside the Tabs content shortcode. This works to display recent posts; however, the content is not contained within the boundaries of the Tab box. I'm trying to display recent posts in a vertical scrollbox. I would love to enter all this into my page template instead but I don't know how to do that and can't find those details on the plugin page. Can @thethefly help? It wasn't explained in the post above. Thanks a million.

   Tabs Shortcode
   

   [tabs title="Tabs Group Title" active=1 event="click"]
   	[tab title="News"][event_recent_posts][/tab]
   	[tab title="Events"]Second tab content[/tab]
           [tab title="Calendar"][event_recent_posts][/tab]
   [/tabs]

   Shortcode Exec PHP code
   

   $args = array( 'numberposts' => 5, 'offset'=> 0, 'category' => 5 );
   $lastposts = get_posts( $args );
   foreach($lastposts as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
   	<h6><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h6>
   	<?php the_content(); ?>
   <?php endforeach; ?>

   I had started another thread trying to figure this out and ended up switching to a different plugin called "WP UI - Tabs, accordions and more". This plugin has a recent posts feature built right in. There are detailed instructions on how to use the shortcode.
