 * I’m using Wp-UI with another plugin called Participants Database. So after I 
   have a database of people I want 3 tabs on my page that List, Search and Sort
   the database.
 * I can get the 3 tabs ok but only contents of the first two tabs work? For instance
   List and Search work but Sort does nothing. But if I put Sort second then it 
   works and Search does not?
 * Anyone have any idea why?
 * Thanks.

 * May I get a link to the page please? This is most likely due to the fact that
   most interactive elements don’t like to load on hidden content.

 * Hi, Thanks for getting back. After a bit more testing I realize that it is not
   that only the last reference to the other plugin but that only the first reference
   works? Well the first reference where something is done (sort, search etc). Here’s

 *  I’ve just put up a small test site with two tabs. The first is using WP UI with
   the second plugin. The code below is what is used on the page
 * code
    ——————————————————————– [wptabs]
 * [wptabtitle] Full list[/wptabtitle] [wptabcontent][pdb_list][/wptabcontent]
 * [wptabtitle] Search list[/wptabtitle] [wptabcontent][pdb_list search=true][/wptabcontent]
 * [wptabtitle] Sort list[/wptabtitle] [wptabcontent][pdb_list sort=true][/wptabcontent]
 * [wptabtitle] Search list[/wptabtitle] [wptabcontent][pdb_list search=true][/wptabcontent]
 * [/wptabs]
    ———————————————————————-
 * The second page is with just the other plugin where you can see that it works
   ok.
 * code
    ———————————————————————– [pdb_list]
 * [pdb_list search=true]
 * [pdb_list sort=true]

 * Thanks.

 * Strange, It seems to work here. Anyway I might be wrong. With the recent CSS 
   changes to jQuery UI – absolute positioning CSS fix I was about to suggest will
   not probably work. You might need to do it with JS, for example –
 *     ```
       wpuiJQ( function( $ ) {
           $( '.wp-tabs' ).find( '.ui-tabs-panel' ).css({ position : 'absolute', top : '-1000px' });
   
          // better to use ID.
           $( '.wp-tabs' ).on( 'tabsbeforeactivate', function(e, ui ) {
                ui.newPanel
                 .css({ 'position' :  'static' })
                 .siblings('.ui-tabs-panel')
                .css({ position : 'absolute', top : '-1000px' });
          });
       });
       ```
   
 * You might need to harness the `tabsbeforeactivate` event appropriately to make
   the tabs work. Please modify the code accordingly.
