Sidebar question for Reviews News Video
-
Is there a way to set the sidebar on news as default rather than reviews?

This should work for you buddy.
find themes/Gamepress/admin/recent-posts-widget.php
extract to desktop copy this code all i did was modify the tab sequence to set your news to be first tab, I only use Video tab when displaying widget so in mine i have took out Reviews and News Tabs

but seems only to have changed the title of the tab and not the order in which they are open, what I need is for it to be set to open (tab 2) by default. currently when a user lands on the website the default tab is links (tab 1).
These are the tab orders in the code
<ul class="tabs-nav tabs"> <li><a href="#"><?php _e('News','gamepress'); ?></a></li> <li><a href="#"><?php _e('Reviews','gamepress'); ?></a></li> <li><a href="#"><?php _e('Videos','gamepress'); ?></a></li>#1 News
#2 Reviews
#3 VideosAll you have to do is rearrange that to say
<ul class="tabs-nav tabs"> <li><a href="#"><?php _e('Reviews','gamepress'); ?></a></li> <li><a href="#"><?php _e('News','gamepress'); ?></a></li> <li><a href="#"><?php _e('Videos','gamepress'); ?></a></li>Now
#1 Reviews
#2 News
#3 VideosIs this the issue you speak of?
Thanks again for getting back to me, but this solution is just renaming the tab titles it is not what I am trying to do.
on loading the webpage , I wish for the website sidebar to be open on tab #2 of the three as default, because this shows the latest posts/news
altering the tab titles doesnt make any difference to the content shown underneath the title. even by moving the titles so that News is on tab #1 the content still shows the original tab #1 content.
If you can imagine out of three tabs its only tab #2 that has any content. I want my page to show tab #2 content as default, so that the page looks a bit more busy when loaded.. currently it always shows tab #1 which unfortunately is empty.
Hope this makes it clearer what I aim to do.
Thanks
Maybe it would be easier to use different widget – there’s no point in having tabs if only one has any content. I’d suggest going with simple “Recent posts” widget.

Yes Ive used this widget before (Recent posts) its very good.
I do wish to maintain the tabs for future use. Because I am going to have links added and also Videos. Also I do like the way this tab section works and how it fits in with the website.
You’re absolutely right it would be easier to use alternative but I would like to try and resolve the issue rather than pass it off as a cant be done.
by the way ..Great theme!!!
Many thanks
I know this is a old post but all you have to do is change the heading lines as suggested earlier then swap the news Ul with the reviews UL so basically this is my code
