How to create tabs?

Support
#1

Hello. I want to create a page with two tabs using Visual Composer (example). But I am having difficulty. Can you please walk me through how to do so? I tried creating a ‘tab nav’ with two entries, and underneath, a ‘tab container’ with two entries. But that created something undesirable (see attached screenshot).

I have tried following the instructions on these two page (here and here) but unfortunately neither are working.

Thanks.

Hi there,

We strongly recommend that you use Cornerstone as your main page builder as it is the official support builder of the theme. For more information:

If you want to use the VIsual Composer please kindly add the Tab element with the Icon Below:

That should work ok as expected:

Also, make sure that you are using our version of Visual Composer downloaded via X > Overview extensions section. The current version is 5.1.1.

Thank you.

Hi Chris. Thanks for the reply. I have several follow-ups:

I have tried following your Visual Composer instructions, but could not replicate your results. Specifically, I added the ‘Tabs’ element. However, when I did so, my page looked like this in the back-end (see attached screenshot). If I click the large plus symbol, I am able to add an individual ‘Tab’ element. If I do that twice, I can add two tabs. But the tabs do not appear horizontally across the page–they appeared vertically (one on top of another–see attached screenshot).

We strongly recommend that you use Cornerstone as your main page builder as it is the official support builder of the theme.

I’m a bit confused–why would the theme come built-in with Visual Composer, yet it not be recommended for use?

I tried adding the tabs via the Cornerstone link you sent, but could not get it to work. The tabs were created, but did not look the way they did in the instructions (the red stripe was missing from the top of the active tab) or function the way they did (when I clicked a tab, no content appeared. Please advise.

If you would like admin access to my site, I can grant it.

Thanks,

Carl

Hi there,

It’s just recommendation, you may use it if you prefer. But not all features are available since the official builder of our theme is now the cornerstone. It’s up to you :slight_smile:

Yes, please provide your login credentials in a secure note. And please provide the URL where the issue is.

Thanks!

OK. If you recommend Cornerstone, then I would rather implement a Cornerstone solution in this case.

I have sent you the login details. The page in-question is “Contact Us (members).” You can see that I’ve tried to insert the tabs using a couple methods.

Thanks.

Hi,

I went ahead and fix it.

Kindly check in your end.

Thanks

OK I finally got around to testing this. It works, I was able to figure out how you did it, and then successfully repeat it. We can consider this resolved.
