    Is there any way with the Elementor tab system to create a link that opens the second or third tab (rather than the default first tab)? If not, any suggestions on a plugin that would allow this?

    Thanks,
    Tom

  • I’m thinking you want to put links on other pages that when clicked will go to the page with the tabs and open an appropriate tab for that specific link? There are ways to add variables to any link URL within a page. This lets you pass data from one page to another. This may take some coding and may be possible using Anchors. Any coders out there?

    Yes, that is what I’m trying to do. I have (unsuccessfully) tried adding an anchor link inside the tab and making the link /pagename/#anchorname. I also found that each tab has a unique ID created by Elementor and tried making the links /pagename/#uniqueID. That also failed ??

    I just found a plugin that would do what you want without taking you to another page with tabs. It’s popup anything with a click. Easy to use and pretty flexible. This runs using shortcode so it can be used on multiple pages. In stead of taking you to another page for your Tab info, you get a pop-up on your current page.
    You can see a test example on my page tiger721.com/sample Just click on one of the City buttons. You could even create a page with what looks like tabs but are buttons all in a row. I like this plugin. It does work with Elementor too.

    Thanks for the help Les, I do appreciate it!

    Looks like a nice option, the site I’m doing is for a client (not for me), so I want to stay as close to the original proposal as possible. I did find WonderPlugin that seems to offer exactly what I want ( https://www.wonderplugin.com/wordpress-tabs/ ). Unfortunately, it is far from free (yes, I do need to remove the WonderPlugin free version’s “watermark”)!

    I’m surprised if the built in Elementor tabs can’t be individually addressed. Most of the time I build custom html/php sites (rather than WordPress sites) and use the wonderful Project VII products for Tabs and similar things. Also not free! I’m use to this being a very simple thing to do and “assumed” it would also be simple in Elementor/WordPress… you know what they say about assuming ??
