Very flexible, powerful plugin with awesome support
by Fresco·1 year ago·1 reply
This is a really useful plugin, easy to use with plenty of colour and font options to suit most folk – and it’s also easy to customise, if you know what you want and you can access your site through an ftp connection or similar (to upload your custom theme). The best bit though, is the support of the author; I reported a problem I was having with the plugin in a Support Thread, and just a few hours and some troubleshooting suggestions from the author later, a new version is made available to everyone which addresses the glitch. Great, quick and comprehensive support, which is so rare these days. Top Marks.
Best free tabs plugin
by taisho·7 years ago·1 reply
I tested almost 10 tab plugins and this one suits me best. Even though it is very far from perfect, after the pain other developers put me through, I have to appreciate quality of this one.
– Very fast, no content jumping
– Content of tabs is within WordPress posts thanks to properly done shortcodes, not like in most of plugins where 1 shortcode = 1 tab of content created in plugin’s interface
– Starting theme is good and neutral enough to actually suffice for most of websites
– There is a multitude of other themes to be picked in plugin’s settings
Now the bad:
– No built in responsiveness for horizontal tabs
– No Font Awesome icons for tab titles
Some additional thoughts:
Can’t set things like font size, but it can easily be changed through CSS, so no problem for me. It’s a bit misleading that settings are under Appearance menu and on installed plugins list there is no settings option for this plugin what at start led me to think there are no settings at all. I think that some preview of available themes would be nice, checking them one by one is quite a chore and I couldn’t find any online source for these themes.
Couldn’t get to work and support helped fix it. Would definintly recommend

The plugin seemed easy enough but could never get the title to show up. It showed as blank. I raised a support ticket and the issue was resolved. Great product and event better support.
