 * Hello!
 * Would it be possible to make it compatible with the Tabify Edit Screen plugin?
 * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/tabify-edit-screen/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tabify-edit-screen/)
 * What about bidirectional relationships?
    Like I have “post1”, “post2” and “post3”,
   I set “post1” to be related to “post2” then “post2” should automatically be related
   to “post1”.

 * Hey Florea,
 * Regarding Tabify Edit Screen compatibility: as far as we see, Carbon Fields are
   mostly compatible with that plugin. There is a small issue however: containers
   are always displayed in the page after loading, even if they are not included
   in the first tab.
 * In order to have that fixed the easy way, one would reload the first tab after
   everything has loaded. To do this, feel free to add this JS code to your admin
   code base: [https://gist.github.com/tyxla/93c12725db270915ccb0](https://gist.github.com/tyxla/93c12725db270915ccb0)
 * To add this code to the administration, save it in a file and enqueue it by calling`
   wp_enqueue_script()` in a function, hooked to the `admin_enqueue_scripts` action.
   Please, don’t hesitate to ask if you need further details or a more complete 
   example.
 * Regarding bidirectional relationships: this is not implemented yet, but it sounds
   like a good feature that we might consider implementing a future version – thanks
   for the great idea.

 * I added that script, but now all fields are on second tab and i have no way of
   splitting them on 2 (or more) tabs since they are not available on tabify’s settings
   page.

 * Hi Florea,
 * Can you please provide us with additional information on how your fields are 
   setup?
 * It would be useful for us to have details of the exact setup of tabs and boxes
   you’ve added within them, so we can attempt to reproduce the issue.
 * Looking forward to your reply.

 * This is the code:
 *     ```
       function my_carbon_fields_setup() {
   
       	Container::make('post_meta', 'group1')
       		->show_on_post_type('post')
       		->add_fields(array(
       			Field::make('text', 'cbr_field1', 'field1'),
       			Field::make('text', 'cbr_field2', 'field2'),
       		));
   
       	Container::make('post_meta', 'group2')
       		->show_on_post_type('post')
       		->add_fields(array(
       			Field::make('text', 'cbr_field3', 'field3'),
       			Field::make('textarea', 'cbr_field4', 'field4'),
       		));
       }
       add_action('carbon_register_fields', 'my_carbon_fields_setup');
       ```
   
 * But i don’t see these groups/metaboxes in the tabify settings page.

 * Hi Florea,
 * While editing a post, click on the “Screen Options” in the top right portion 
   of the screen. Are the “group1” and “group2” checkboxes enabled? Toggle them,
   just in case, so they get enabled.
 * Does the issue persist after doing this? If yes, is there any error in the browser
   console?

 * They are enabled and visible on post edit page (did toggle them off and back 
   on).
    No errors in console.
 * Still not visible in tabify settings.

 * Hey Florea,
 * This is weird. The boxes are visible in the “Tabify edit screen” settings page
   for us.
 * Several more questions for you:
    1) Are you configuring the right post type in
   the Tabify edit screen settings (post)? 2) Does the user you’re using have the
   administrator role? 3) Have you selected any particular roles in the role fields
   of the tab? 4) Are you using the latest version of Tabify edit screen?

 * 1. yes
    2. yes 3. no 4. yes
 * I’m using xampp with php7 could it be that?
 * LE: I have changed to php 5.6 and another wp install and i did see the fields
   on tabify but after creating a tab and saving they disappeared.

 * Hey Florea,
 * We believe this issue is out of the Carbon Fields plugin scope. Carbon Fields
   post meta container uses the native WordPress meta boxes, so it makes sense for
   them to work just like the default post meta boxes.
 * I suggest that you post in the support forum of the Tabify Edit Screen plugin.
 * And please let us know if we can assist in any other way.

 * I found the problem, it’s the [Favorites](https://wordpress.org/plugins/favorites/)
   plugin.
 * Just deactivating the plugin was not enough though, i had to clear the transients
   too, then the fields became visible.
 * **Thank you for the help.**
