Ismael, thanks for posting that. Unfortunately I have no idea where the problem could be. It is probably caused by the script that generates the list of available widgets, but I don't know why. Once I come up with something, I'll email it to you. Could you please email me screenshots of widget and tabbed widget management pages.

Wordpress –> 2.6.2
PHP –> 5.2.1
Linux Server – lighttpd/1.4.18
Tabbed Widget –> last version 0.77, also I have tested 0.76 with the same result

Can you fix it?

thanks!

Ismael, more information would be useful, like the version of WordPress and PHP, is it a linux server, what version of Tabbed Widget plugin are you using.

When I click (into Design Menu) Tabbed Widgets, the page shows a blank page with this: [[]]

what´s wrong?

Yes — by using CSS. Add it at the end of your theme’s style.css.

Kaspars,

Is there an easy way to adjust the amount of blank space after the widget?

Thanks!

Kaspars,

Is there a way to add a tabbed widget directly to sidebar.php? I have looked through out this site and on wordpress forums. I would like to add this in manually on top of the dynamic sidebars.

Thanks!

Kaspars, thanks for the reply. What are unique identifiers? I've heard them mentioned but don't really know anything about them. Also, how can I figure out how to add that functionality (I guess you're referring to unique identifiers) by browsing around on this website? I'm sorry if I'm asking noob questions but I am one. :-)

Scott, (1) your theme needs to apply unique identifiers to all widgets, which it currently doesn't do. Browse around this website to see how to add that functionality. (2) I suggest you ask for support in WordPress support forums.

Hi everybody. I’m still looking for help with the tabbed widget (read my post above). If anyone has any ideas, I’d love to hear them. Thanks.

Here’s my blog, in case you need to examine it for a possible cause of the problem: [ http://illuminodyssey.com ].

Kaspars, Kaspars, thanks for the reply. I checked and, yes, I did add it. I'm not sure why it's not showing up.

Scott, did you add that tabbed widget to the sidebar? It is done through Design > Widgets. The widget you need to add starts with TW.

Hi all,

I installed the widget without a problem. I set the options and updated. I’m pretty new to Wordpress and the world of plugins and widgets, so this next question might seem like something a noob would ask. But, since I am a noob, I hope I’m forgiven. :-)

After I refreshed my site page, the tabbed widget didn’t show up in the sidebar. Is there something else I’m supposed to do before it shows up? Am I supposed to past something somewhere? If so, what do I paste and where do I past it? :-/

Oh…I guess I should say that I set my tabbed widget to show two tabs: 1) Recent Comments, 2) Archives. Presently, I already have these two items appearing in my sidebar as separate items. Do I need to remove or disable them first?

Thanks.

Alessandro, your theme doesn't apply unique identifiers to every widget. Please read through the Theme Requirements section above and also all the comments to find the solution.

Hi Kaspars,
Really a nice plugin. It’s a pity I can’t get it work. As someone else on this page, my problem is that both the accordion and the tabbed syles always show all content (everithing is visible), not hiding all included widget but one as I would expect.

I tried the fixes mentioned, but they did not work…

You can see the tabbed widget on bottom left of every page…Thank you for support !!

kevin, there is no way you can do it (as far as I know). This plugin creates widgets out of other widgets, and relies heavily on the unique identifiers of widget wrappers which are automatically assigned by WordPress. I highly suggest you create a widgetized area (aka sidebar) and use this plugin that way.

Kaspars,

Is there a way to call the widget outside of the sidebar (widget function)? I want to call to it from within a template file.

Thanks!
