URL link no longer works

The link you provided is working perfectly for me in Safari, Chrome and Firefox. To open a tab via URL you need to add the ID of the tab you want to open (tab two example).

Did you change anything/upgrade any other plugins? Why did it stop working?

I have upgraded WordPress, and probably other plugins as well. I have tested this page with several different themes (the main theme I am using is a Genesis child theme)

The page will jump to the tab from your link here on the forum, but I am trying to make it jump from a link on the same page. I just added more links to test and the first link will jump down to the first tab, but if I click on the second tab then click the link for the first tab, nothing happens, nor will the other two links, nothing happens when I click on them. Clicking on each tab works, that is good, but when I tested this a while ago, I thought that clicking a link on the same page would switch to the appropriate tab. That is the functionality I am looking for.

I am trying to recreate this page, only in WordPress and not a static webpage – https://wayoflife.net/practitioners-wp.html#page=page-1 Clicking on a link at the top of the page will bring up the practitioner’s bio, or clicking on the tab will do that too. That is what the client wants.

Here is the test page again with two more links – https://wayoflife.net/dev/tab-test/

Code for that section is <p><strong><span style="color: #333333;"><a style="color: #333333;" href="https://wayoflife.net/dev/tab-test/#tab-1">link1</a>? ?<a style="color: #333333;" href="https://wayoflife.net/dev/tab-test/#tab-2">link2</a>? ?<a style="color: #333333;" href="https://wayoflife.net/dev/tab-test/#tab-3">link3</a></span></strong></p><p>[tabs] [tab title="First Tab"]Need Guidance choosing the Right Supplements for your Best Health?

I am testing in Safari and Seamonkey, neither work as I wish it to. I will also try putting the links in a different div than the tabs.

Thank you for taking a look.

Unfortunately, that feature isn’t intended to work that way. It’s meant for links from other pages. There is currently no way to select a tab on the current page other than clicking the tab itself. Mine may not actually be the best plugin option for you. Sorry and good luck finding an alternative.

I realized after I typed that all out, that I was stretching the interpretation of “external” to mean outside the tabbed section and then I did realize it was meant to be links on other pages than the page with the tabs. I thought it was working like the other script, but only one link sort of works adding other links does not.

It is a good plugin for straight forward tabs and nice and simple, so I will continue to use it for other projects that aren’t as complicated.

thank you again for responding.
