Title: tabs not working Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # tabs not working * Resolved [mfauster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mfauster/) * (@mfauster) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabs-not-working-9/) * Hi there, * I am new with wordpress trying some plugin features. I wanted to add tabs onto one page without success. * Entered: [tabby title=”tab 1″] test seite 1 * [tabby title=”tab 2″] Test seite 2 * [tabby title=”tab 3″] test seite 3 [tabbyending] * [Result – klick/](http://www.marcfauster.at/aktivurlaubsteiermark/test/) * There are no tabs – all the content on one page. What can I do to make the tabs work? * bet regards, marc * WP Vers: 4.0 Theme: Minamaze * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/tabby-responsive-tabs/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tabby-responsive-tabs/) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) * Plugin Author [cubecolour](https://wordpress.org/support/users/numeeja/) * (@numeeja) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabs-not-working-9/#post-5383682) * There are a few troubleshooting steps that can be followed. * Sometimes this happens if the shortcodes have been copied & pasted into the visual editor as when they are displayed as shortcodes, extra or incorrect characters may be picked up. To do this delete each shortcode and retype it manually. * Incompatibility with a theme is another thing that we would normally investigate. This involves temporarily switching to a default WordPress theme and checking whether the tabs appear. * I don’t think theme issue is likely to be the case on your site (assuming you are using the version of Minamaze on the WordPress.org themes directory) as the themes hosted on WordPress.org have to be written to the same standards that the plugin is designed to work with. Also to check, I have just installed the Minamaze theme on one of my test sites and the tabs appear exactly as I would expect them to. * The other potential issue that might cause this is a plugin conflict. To investigate whether this is the case, temporarily deactivate ALL plugins except Tabby Responsive Tabs. If the tabs then appear after reloading the site in the browser, reactivate the plugins one-by-one until the issue reoccurs – this will indicate which plugin has the conflict and where to focus further troubleshooting. * Thread Starter [mfauster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mfauster/) * (@mfauster) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabs-not-working-9/#post-5383690) * hi, * thank you very much for your quick reply on this issue. * a) changed theme – still the same problem, so minamaze is working fine. b) deactivated all plugins – still the same c) checked the text versions and have seen, that there where ` tags around the [tabby] tags - deleted them - and the tabs are working fine now!` * thank you very much! * best regards, mf * Thread Starter [mfauster](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mfauster/) * (@mfauster) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabs-not-working-9/#post-5383691) * … there where ``tags around the [tabby] tags … * Plugin Author [cubecolour](https://wordpress.org/support/users/numeeja/) * (@numeeja) * [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabs-not-working-9/#post-5383708) * That can happen when the sample shortcodes are copied & pasted into the site in the visual editor from a sample page rather than being typed directly as the code to prevent the shortcode from being processed on the example site is also copied. I’m glad you managed to fix it. * If you like the plugin and you’d like to review it, you can do this at the bottom of this page: [https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/tabby-responsive-tabs](https://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/tabby-responsive-tabs) Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) The topic ‘tabs not working’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/tabby-responsive-tabs/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=2682041) * [Tabby Responsive Tabs](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tabby-responsive-tabs/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tabby-responsive-tabs/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tabby-responsive-tabs/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tabby-responsive-tabs/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tabby-responsive-tabs/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/tabby-responsive-tabs/reviews/) * 4 replies * 2 participants * Last reply from: [cubecolour](https://wordpress.org/support/users/numeeja/) * Last activity: [11 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tabs-not-working-9/#post-5383708) * Status: resolved
