Title: Novelience Accessible Tabs Author: novelience Published: October 29, 2026 Last modified: October 30, 2026 --- Search plugins ![](https://s.w.org/plugins/geopattern-icon/novelience-accessible-tabs.svg) # Novelience Accessible Tabs By [novelience](https://profiles.wordpress.org/novelience/) [Download](https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/novelience-accessible-tabs.1.2.1.zip) * [Details](https://wordpress.org/plugins/novelience-accessible-tabs/#description) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/plugins/novelience-accessible-tabs/#reviews) * [Installation](https://wordpress.org/plugins/novelience-accessible-tabs/#installation) * [Development](https://wordpress.org/plugins/novelience-accessible-tabs/#developers) [Support](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/novelience-accessible-tabs/) ## Description Novelience Accessible Tabs implements the ARIA tabs pattern while keeping content server-rendered and indexable: * `tablist`, `tab`, and `tabpanel` roles with matching ARIA relationships. * Arrow, Home, and End keyboard navigation with managed focus. * Dynamic rendering through Block API v3. * No imposed stylesheet or theme dependency. * Filters for tab data and final markup when a project needs custom behavior. Developed and maintained by Novelience. ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Novelience Accessible Tabs Groups headings and content in keyboard-accessible tabs. ## Installation 1. Upload the `novelience-accessible-tabs` folder or install the plugin ZIP. 2. Activate Novelience Accessible Tabs, then add its block in the editor. 3. If a private installation already uses Accessible Tabs Block from the accessible- tabs-block folder, deactivate that copy before activating this one. The block identifier and saved content are unchanged; no database migration or re-creation of existing tabs is needed. ## FAQ ### Does the block impose visual styles? No. It provides accessible structure and states; the active theme controls the appearance. ### Does the content remain available without front-end JavaScript? Yes. Every panel is rendered on the server. JavaScript enhances the result with the tab interaction. ### Is the editor available in French? Yes. The plugin includes French translations for its block label, editor controls, new-block example text, and server-rendered accessibility label. The editor follows the user’s WordPress locale; the public page follows the site locale. Text already saved in a post is never translated by the plugin. ### What happens to tabs created with the earlier private plugin? They continue to use `accessible-tabs/tabs` and retain the same saved content. The public plugin folder and translation domain now use the Novelience name. Deactivate the earlier plugin first. If both copies are active, the new copy leaves block registration to the earlier one and shows an administrator notice; it does not register the block twice or delete content. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Novelience Accessible Tabs” is open source software.
