Two questions:
1. Which version of PHP are you using?
2. Were you using regular widgets in your theme before activating this plugin?
Hey Kasp, I tried installing and setting up this plugin tonight. I selected a few widgets and saved it, went to my site and all widgets added are listed, but not in tabbed form. IE: They are all listed together.
website: jeffwithag.com
wordpress version: 2.8.1
php version: 5.2.9
tabbed widgets: posts, forums, comments
Also I noticed some web chat about before-widget settings and what not, so here are mine:
'before_widget' => '<li id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s"><div class="widget-top">',
'after_widget' => '</div><div class="widget-bottom"></div></li>',
'before_title' => '<h4 class="widget-title">',
'after_title' => '</h4>',
Lastly, I also read some web chat about jquery settings, but am unsure exactly what that entails.
Anyway, I’d appreciate any direction you’re able to offer.
Thanks,
Geoff
I have the same problem. The “tabbed widget” menu has disappeared and the widgets are appearing as regular widgets in the sidebar instead of tabbed.
Some further information: I deleted and re-installed and I’ve made sure that the “widgets” in the invisible area are the exact same widgets I’ve selected in the “tabbed widgets” widget as Tab 1 and Tab 2.
Also, I’m running 2.8.6.
For visual confirmation, my site is here.
jeffwithag, it looks like your theme “RidZine” is causing a javascript error:
“jQuery(“#tab-content”).tabs is not a function”
which is caused by
jQuery(‘#tab-content’).tabs({ fxSlide: true });
To check if that is the problem, try commenting out that line:
// jQuery(‘#tab-content’).tabs({ fxSlide: true });
gideonstrumpet, please try the new version — 0.82, and let me know if that fixes the problem.
If it may be of further use, it seems that the information I enter in the widget (title of the tabbed widget itself, title of each individual tab) is reflected on the blog, it’s just the format that doesn’t work: i.e. they don’t appear in tabs; the rest of the info seems to update.
Edit: I added a third tab in the widgets interface to confirm (“pages”) and as you can see it shows up on the blog.
Switching to “accordion” makes no difference.
By the way, thanks for the plugin and for the attempt to fix this. It’s appreciated quite a bit.
Ok, I’ll start looking for the line of code. I’ll go grab some editor online that allows searching via directories, it should help me quickly locate what file it’s in. Besides I should be using a decent editor anyway.
Thanks,
Geoff
gideonstrumpet, could you please create a temporary login for me, my email address is kaspars at konstruktors.com
Bear with me, I’m in unchartered grounds for me. I remarked it out, but still see the following two errors when I goto the error console
First Error:
Error: syntax error
Source File: http://jeffwithag.com/wp-content/plugins/tabbed-widgets/tabbed-widgets.php?returnjs=true&ver=2.8.1
Line: 6, Column: 33
Source Code:
$rotateoptions[2][“start_tab”] = ;
When I open it I see the following:
var $rotateoptions = new Array();
$rotateoptions[2] = new Array();
$rotateoptions[2]["style"] = "";
$rotateoptions[2]["rotate"] = 0;
$rotateoptions[2]["random_start"] = 0;
$rotateoptions[2]["start_tab"] = ;
$rotateoptions[2]["interval"] = 1000;
$rotateoptions[3] = new Array();
$rotateoptions[3]["style"] = "tabs";
$rotateoptions[3]["rotate"] = 1;
$rotateoptions[3]["random_start"] = 0;
$rotateoptions[3]["start_tab"] = default;
$rotateoptions[3]["interval"] = 3000;
Second Error:
Error: jQuery is not defined
Source File: http://jeffwithag.com/wp-content/themes/RidZine/RidZine/js/jquery.tabs.pack.js
Line: 14
I did notice that I had the following:
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/jquery-1.2.6-packed.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/glide.noconflict.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/js/jquery.tabs.pack.js"></script>
but nothing specific for jquery.js. Should the ones above cover what I need?
Thanks again for any direction.
Geoff
Just FYI I unremarked the initial error you mention again, but can remark it back if you think it should remain so!
jeffwithag, thanks for your detailed report. This problem you mention:
$rotateoptions[2][“start_tab”] = ;
was supposedly solved by the 0.82 update. Have you installed it?
Upgraded to 0.83 and now the Widget menu displays just:-
[%%]
… so I’ve needed to disable your widget again 🙁
1. Which version of PHP are you using?
PHP version 5.2.11
My PHP error log shows nothing recorded when I run the Widgets page (with Tabbed Widgets enabled)
2. Were you using regular widgets in your theme before activating this plugin?
Nope. I’ve been using WordPress for 6 months, using Hybrid News theme, Dashboard says I’m using 12 Widgets (several of which I’ve installed after WordPress was installed).
My Widgets page shows:-

hedgehogsbottom, could you please temporarily disable the plugin which creates the “PHP Code” widget.
