 * Hi, I’m trying to show a list of categories from a parent category inside TABS
   shortcode in a page template. Can someone correct the code below!
 *     ```
       <?php echo do_shortcode('[tabs][tab title="CATEGORY-1"] <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&child_of=11); ?> [/tab]
       [tab title="CATEGORY-2"] <?php wp_list_categories('show_count=1&child_of=12); ?> [/tab][/tabs]') ?>
       ```
   
 * Please help!

 * For those who are looking for the answer, I found it and it was simple! Add shortcode
   to the page, view and copy the source code, add php code and create a page template!
 * Thanks
