I am getting some buggy results with the tabs in Cornerstone. I added tabs in Cornerstone via ‘tabs’ shortcode last year and everything was working fine. somehow when upgrading somewhere things are not working so well. I was getting buggy things with the actuve=“true” added key / value for the active tab to show up first. So to fix the issue I just made the tab not active but seeing a blank isn’t ideal. Website page is here:
https://www.longboatkeychamber.com/membership/
and code is as follows. this is what I had before I removed ‘active=“true”’

<h3>Membership Information</h3>
Thank you for your interest in joining the Longboat Key, Lido Key, St. Armands Key Chamber of Commerce. Since
1958, the Chamber has been an integral part of the community actively working to enhance the economic climate of the Longboat Key, Lido Key and St. Armands Key communities as well as those nearby. We are very pleased to be described as a community resource and this enables us to create direct connections for our members with customers and clients as well as offering other support.
Our concern for the success of small business is a cornerstone of this Chamber and we are an equally strong voice encouraging visitors to experience our island paradise and way of life. We host monthly networking opportunities for members and guests and special events throughout the year. We publish an annual Visitor Guide and Community Directory which includes a listing of all members and is distributed to 30,000 businesses, households and visitors. Your membership investment also allows your business to be listed on our website. Our creation of both the Longboat Key Triathlon and Longboat Key Challenge present the opportunity for greater exposure to a larger market with ideal demographics locally and beyond.
The success of small business is a year-round commitment of this Chamber and we want you to be a part of it. We look forward to the opportunity to customize your membership to best meet your needs.[/tab][tab][contact-form-7 id="4472" title="Join the Chamber"][/tab][tab]
