* I’m trying to use some shortcodes inside the tab element of Elementor Kit and
it doesn’t work, only the first shortcode works and the others don’t open.
How

* Hi [@eltonheta](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eltonheta/),
* Thanks for contacting us.
* I’ve checked the Tab widget with Shortcode, it seems fine on my end ([screencast](https://d.pr/v/mZxcMf)).
Three tabs with different shortcode template work fine. I would request you to
check your shortcode to another area if it works.
* In the meantime you can run a conflict test in your environment.
* To do so, first of all, switch your theme to a default theme like **2020 or Hello
Elementor** and check if the issue still persists. If that solves your issue,
that means the issue is related to the theme you are using.
* If switching to the default theme also doesn’t help, please check for any conflicts
between the installed plugin. To troubleshoot the issue, please deactivate other
plugins except for **Elementskit and Elementor** to check if the issue still
persists. If that solves your problem, activate the plugins one by one, and continue
checking the issue In this way you will be able to detect which one causes the
problem.
* Let us know your update, please.
* Regards,
* Arif

* Thanks, but I solved it, the problem was with CSS, when I clicked on the second
tab, the height of the images became 0, and as a result, it didn’t work.

out…

* Hello Mark,
* Yes I found the error, well at least in my case.
* Simply I had some html code open that I didn’t close, for example:
* ```wp-block-code
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
```
* I forgot to close it wit
* I also found that if you have any extra open or close tag ( or or , etc.) it’s going to give the same error.
* Hope this works for you!
* Best regards,
* Realmoca

* I had the same issue in tabs when I put shortcodes in it but in my case, now
it is resolved and I found the issue is due to the “return” used to output the
user message in the render function. The issue was resolved when I used “echo”
to print user messages instead of “return”.
For Example when using “return” to
print user messages `public function renderFunction($atts) { ob_start();
$current_user = wp_get_current_user(); $user_roles = $current_user->roles;
if (!in_array('student', $user_roles)) { return 'You do not have the
student role.'; } else { $courses = get_user_meta($current_user-
>ID, '_course', true); if (empty($courses)) { return'
No courses found for this student.'; } else { if ($
_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] === 'POST') { $this->handleFormSubmission(
$current_user, $courses); } $this->displayCourseHistoryTable(
$current_user->ID); } } return ob_get_clean(); }in
this, I used return to print messages but when I used echo instead of return
the issue was resolved.I hope you found this helpful.
