   How about adding the tabs directly to theme files rather than in posts/pages? I want to use them in header.php or sidebar.php

   Thank you !

   Hi Bharath, sorry for the late reply, there is something wrong with this forum's feed and now we have got a forum there.

   Yes you can use the tabs in your sidebar, though the header.php can be bit over complicated.

   Sidebar

   Shortcodes are already enabled on the sidebar Widgets, by wp-ui. If that somehow doesn't work, append this to the theme's function.php.

   add_filter( 'widget_text', do_shortcode' );

   Now you can use the shortcodes in the text widget :)

   Header.php

   You can use the tabs shortcode as and where applicable, with echo do_shortcode().
   

   // shortcode with all the arguments.
   $tabstart = '[wptabs style="ui-lightness"]';
   
   echo do_shortcode( $tabstart );
   
   // the title, content, and closing shortcodes follow.

   But that procedure looks rather repelling, right? I am thinking about including some functions to make this simple.

   Please let me know,
   Kavin

   Hello Kavin ,

   Thanks for your kind help !

   sorry for the late reply, there is something wrong with this forum's feed and now we have got a forum there.

   You did a right thing shifting from phpBB to Vanillaforums. BTW, There were some of my posts at your old forums which were not published (The forum was Moderation based).. So I started posting here :)

   Yes you can use the tabs in your sidebar, though the header.php can be bit over complicated.

   I have already tried the tabs in 'text' widgets and successfully able to publish. I failed to use the code in header.php .Any how I will follow the echo do_shortcode() in header.php and will update you

   Thanks again !

   Hai Bharath,

   First stuff first -
   If you would like to show only the posts, you can ditch the header.php and take on index.php. You can create like 4-5 custom loops and add them to tabs.

   Also i recommend that you take a look at the file "wp-ui-dev.js" under plugins/wp-ui/js/, if you are comfortable with the code . Implementing the tabs are down right simple. :)

   Thanks for the kind words. Yep, i decided to switch to vanilla, main reason it being simple and straight forward.
   I am sorry about the lost forum posts. I had the forum backup with the vanilla import tool, but it ignored some posts, no idea why, for that i made sure there were no posts under moderation. Sorry for the inconvenience.
