it does not support custom post types, loading each pageview slows everything down on the site and even if i understand the need to monetize things, the permanent displayed begging for a subscription in the admin panel goes beyond acceptable.
Only shows posts, slow

Tab content is strictly limited to displaying posts. Not flexible at all. If you system is at all slow, the tab behavior will be completely unacceptable.
Fantastic tabs!
by magicbydzn·7 years ago
This tabs do exactly what I was looking for. I’m using this tabs few months, did’t had any problem. Fantastic tabs with simple and very nice functionality.

If I need pro-features, I will discover the pro-version on my own.
But advertising pro-version and begging for reviews is a no-go, even if the standard-feature-set is working fine, like here.
Very good
