Listing Custom Post Types

I have a website running as a Multisite Network. In the sidebar, I have a “tabber” with three tabs. On the three pages of this tabber, I want to list the posts in each of three Custom Post Types, one type on each page of the tabber.

The Custom Post Types plugin generates archive pages (not Category pages) at https://mydomain.com/press-releases/ … https://mydomain.com/news/ … and https://mydomain.com/events/

I have posts in each of those types, so I can navigate to them by using those URL’s.

To get the list of posts on each tab, I have added code to my theme functions.php and changed the code in my tabber.php

Here is the code I added to the theme functions.php …

# Added To List Custom Posts In Tabber
function tj_tabs_news($posts = 5) {
    $news = query_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'news', 'posts_per_page' => $posts ) );
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>
<li>
     <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
    <div class="clear"></div>
</li>
<?php endwhile;
}

function tj_tabs_press($posts = 5) {
    $news = query_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'press-releases', 'posts_per_page' => $posts ) );
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>
<li>
     <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
    <div class="clear"></div>
</li>
<?php endwhile;
}

function tj_tabs_events($posts = 5) {
    $news = query_posts( array( 'post_type' => 'events', 'posts_per_page' => $posts ) );
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
?>
<li>
     <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
    <div class="clear"></div>
</li>
<?php endwhile;
}

and here is the code of the tabber.php

<?php if (get_theme_mod('tabber') == 'Yes') { ?>
<div class="tabber">
    <ul id="tabs" class="tabs">
        <li><a href="#news" rel="news" class="selected"><?php _e('News', 'themejunkie'); ?></a></li>
        <li><a href="#press-releases" rel="press-releases"><?php _e('Press', 'themejunkie'); ?></a></li>
        <li><a href="#events" rel="events"><?php _e('Events', 'themejunkie'); ?></a></li>
    </ul>
    <div class="clear"></div>
    <ul id="news" class="tabcontent">
    <h2><center><b><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/news/">Click Here To See More About Us In The News!</a></b></center></h2>
    <br />
    <?php tj_tabs_news(); ?>
    </ul>
    <ul id="press-releases" class="tabcontent">
    <h2><center><b><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/press-releases/">Click Here To See What's Coming Up!</a></b></center></h2>
    <br />
    <?php tj_tabs_press(); ?>
    </ul>
    <ul id="events" class="tabcontent">
    <h2><center><b><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/events/">Click Here To See What's Coming Up!</a></b></center></h2>
    <br />
    <?php tj_tabs_events(); ?>
    </ul>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var tabs=new ddtabcontent("tabs")
    tabs.setpersist(false)
    tabs.setselectedClassTarget("link")
    tabs.init()
    </script>
</div> <!--end: tabber-->
<div class="clear"></div>
<?php } ?>

When I view the tabber, the first tab list the custom post of that type as hyperlinks. The remaining two tabs do not show the posts of their type. I can navigate to the archive pages and see posts listed, but not in my tabber.

Where did I go wrong?

Thanks for any help you can give!
