Great idea, but it doesn't work

    A few major things stood out:
    1) Where does the CSS go? Why not add a “default css” field to update the CSS from the front end? Or at least a file, so it can be edited easily?
    2) It doesn’t work. I installed it in compliance with the instructions, turned it on, and added some shortcode to one of my posts. The post didn’t change.
    3) No example. Does it work for anyone? How can anyone be sure if there’s no live example on the site.
    4) What technology does this use? Is it AJAX-ready? I think most people will want to know.

    Hi Movingsole,

    To answer your various questions:

    1. The CSS simply needs to be added to your themes default style.css stylesheet. You can edit this by going to Appearance > Editor. I deliberately chose not to add an additional stylesheet as each new file adds an HTTP request and slows your site down. Add the CSS to the main stylesheet file helps solve that problem.

    2. The plugin will not appear to work until you add the appropriate CSS. The CSS is used to hide and show the various tabs as well as add the visual appearance of the tabs. Please add the CSS as describe above and try again.

    3. There is an example of usage on this page. I am using it successfully on numerous sites.

    4. It uses a small amount of JavaScript to achieve the tab switching. If you are interested in viewing the code for yourself, take a look at the Github repo. There is no need for any AJAX for the plugin to work.

    I hope this solves some of your issues and gives you a better overall experience with the plugin.
