 * Hello, my tabs were working great, but for some reason, one tab group has stopped
   working as it should.
 * The particular group does not load a preview when editing, and once published
   does not create tabs, but displays info vertically down the page as if i’d just
   entered the info as text.
 * I also was getting the Critical Error message on the particular page, and the
   page looked like an A4 document rather than a web page.
 * I deleted the page and the tab group, and started again. But the same issue keeps
   occurring.
 * Please help!

 * Hello Bayejid
 * Thank you very much for your response.
    I was up til 2am this morning working
   on my site and had deactivated plug-ins one by one to try and find the issue.
 * It was sourced though, which was external to your plugin it seems.
 * For information, it appeared that a Woocommerce plugin shortcode in the affected
   tabbed section was misfunctioning which made the tab plugin misfunction too. 
   The shortcode was removed from the tab, keeping everything else the same, and
   everything worked perfectly again. I’ve since deactivated Woocommerce completely,
   for many other reasons, and now using a different e-commerce plugin that better
   suits my needs.
 * This post may help others who experience similar – check any shortcodes in tabbed
   sections first if a tab live page is affected.
 * Sorry I didn’t get back to you last night/this morning to update you – I was 
   exhausted haha
 * Have a lovely day.
