## Description

Shaban Visual Tabs for Elementor adds a flexible visual tabs widget for Elementor.
It is designed for layouts where tab headers need more than plain text.

You can create tab headers using images, icons, text, image + text, or icon + text.
The plugin includes responsive grid and horizontal carousel controls, hover title/
icon options, and a popup tab connector workflow.

This plugin is an independent add-on for Elementor and is not affiliated with, endorsed
by, or sponsored by Elementor.

#### Main Features

 * Image, icon, text, image + text, and icon + text tab headers.
 * Top, right, bottom, and left tab positions.
 * Responsive grid tab layout.
 * Horizontal carousel tab layout.
 * Carousel offside option: single-row scroll or contained wrapping.
 * Gap-aware carousel sizing.
 * Hover icon and hover title controls.
 * Active tab can keep hover state visible.
 * Popup tab connector using Elementor’s native popup trigger and CSS classes.
 * Supports editor content, video URLs, and Elementor template shortcodes.

### Popup Tab Connector

Recommended popup workflow:

 1. Create an Elementor Popup.
 2. Add the Shaban Visual Tabs widget inside the popup.
 3. Set a Tab Trigger Slug inside the target tab item. Example: `project-one`.
 4. On the page, use Elementor’s native Button, Icon, Image, or Container to open the
    popup.
 5. In that Elementor trigger widget, go to Advanced > CSS Classes.
 6. Add the class: `aet-open-tab-project-one`.

The slug after `aet-open-tab-` must match the Tab Trigger Slug exactly.

Supported trigger class formats:

 * `aet-open-tab-your-slug`
 * `aet-tab-your-slug`
 * `aetpopup-your-slug`

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`, or install the ZIP through 
    WordPress > Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin.
 2. Activate the plugin.
 3. Edit a page with Elementor.
 4. Search for “Shaban Visual Tabs”.
 5. Add the widget and configure the tab items.

## FAQ

### Does this plugin require Elementor?

Yes. Elementor must be installed and active.

### Is this plugin affiliated with Elementor?

No. This plugin is an independent add-on for Elementor and is not affiliated with,
endorsed by, or sponsored by Elementor.

### Does it use Elementor’s popup system?

For popup opening, yes. Use Elementor’s own popup trigger. This plugin stores the
tab slug and activates the matching tab after the popup opens.

### Can I drag Elementor widgets directly inside each tab?

No. This plugin does not use Elementor’s Nested Elements API. For complex tab content,
use Elementor saved templates or shortcodes.

### How do I stop carousel tabs from going offside?

Set Header Display to Horizontal Carousel Tabs, then set Carousel Offside Scroll
to “No — Wrap Inside Container”.
