Naming the tab URL

  • Hi Phil,

    I love this plugin — thanks very much! I also use your Accordion Shortcodes plugin, which is equally awesome ??

    I’ve been using the Tabs Shortcodes for about a year now and everything has been going well. But now I’ve come across a situation where I need to change the layout of a page that currently has two tabs. I need to move the second tab to a brand-new page, and break up the first tab into several others.

    The problem I’m coming up against is that I link to that second tab from other posts and pages, so that link has been indexed by search engines. I can’t redirect it to the correct page because I need to add new content to that tab.

    I can’t see a way to solve the issue for existing situations, but I’m sure that it would be possible to prevent it from occurring again by allowing tab URLs to be named rather than numbered.

    Thanks very much for considering this request! I also noticed that the plugin hasn’t been updated in about a year. Any plans to indicate compatibility with the current WordPress version?

    Cheers!

    Hi Julie,

    Unfortunately there is no way to name a tab URL at this point.

    I’ve also started a new job (about a year ago) which occupies far more of my time, so I don’t have as much time to devote to updating this plugin. Given that my Accordions plugin gets far more use I typically devote what little extra time I do have to it instead of this one. I have made a note and should I get more time I will look into adding support for this.

    Really sorry I couldn’t be more help in this case.

    Thanks for getting back to me, Phil. I’ve actually always thought the two plugins should be one. Perhaps more people would use the Tabs plugin if it was bundled in the Accordions plugin… Just a thought…

    There are a number of plugins that bundle functionality like that. My general opinion is to keep plugins as focused as possible. Each plugin should do one thing, really well.
