🎯 Purpose

The Tabs widget enables you to present content in multiple labeled panes within the same space. Users can click on each tab to reveal independent content blocks, making it perfect for organizing features, product details, FAQs, or comparisons neatly.


⚙️ Key Features & Configuration

  • Create Multiple Tabs
    Easily add, remove, reorder, or duplicate tab items. Each tab includes a title and a content area where you can include text, images, links, or even embed other widgets for rich layouts.

  • Content Flexibility
    Inside each tab’s content box, you can add any Elementor-supported content—from paragraphs and lists to videos and shortcodes.

  • Active Tab Control
    Set a specific tab to open by default when the user lands on the page.

  • Icon Integration
    Add icons to each tab header to visually distinguish categories or sections.


🎨 Style Customization

Tabs Header Styling

  • Layout Options: Choose horizontal (top-aligned) or vertical (right-aligned) orientation.

  • Typography: Customize font family, size, weight, spacing, and decoration for tab titles.

  • Colors & States: Set separate text, background, and border colors for normal, hover, and active states.

  • Borders & Dividers: Add or adjust borders around tabs or between tabs, including spacing and radius.

Content Panel Styling

  • Padding & Spacing: Control the inner spacing within each tab’s content area.

  • Background & Borders: Style panel background color, border, radius, shadow, and overall alignment.


🛠️ Advanced Controls

  • Responsive Settings
    Adjust orientation and styling for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices to ensure accessibility and readability across all screens.

  • Interactivity & Effects
    Add entrance animations, scroll effects, or hover transitions to enhance engagement when users switch tabs.

  • Layout Precision
    Use margin, padding, z-index, positioning, motion effects, custom HTML attributes, and CSS classes for fine-grained layout control.


âś… Best Practices

  • Use tabbed interfaces for structured content like product specs, comparison tables, or grouped FAQs to reduce page length.

  • Keep titles short and descriptive to make them easily scannable.

  • Allow one tab to be open by default to guide user attention.

  • Use visual cues—colors or icons—to highlight active states for intuitive navigation.

  • Adjust spacing and alignment so content appears harmonious regardless of orientation.

  • Test the setup across device types to ensure proper stacking and alignment.


📌 Ideal Use Cases

  • Product or feature breakdowns (e.g., Description, Sizes, Materials).

  • FAQ sections with grouped answers.

  • Technical content with tabs for Overview, Specs, Reviews.

  • Comparative guides or services that need categorized layout.

  • Multi-step instructions broken into manageable panes.


The Tabs widget offers a user-friendly, structured way to display multiple content blocks in a compact area—featuring icon support, rich styling, and responsive control for clean and interactive layouts.
