Does the tabs widget work correctly when the Visual Editor is active? To verify if the issue is indeed happening due to the reason that you have shared we need to debug this. Please temporarily disable all third-party plugins on your site and see if that makes any difference. * Thread Starter [patyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patyer/) * (@patyer) * [2 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-elements-tabs-addon-when-i-deactivate-visual-editor-wordpress/#post-17560530) * [@vipulelementor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vipulelementor/) Hi, the Visual Editor of WP I deactivate, in users option (of the desktop menu WorPress) and in my profile, in personal options -> Disable the visual editor when typing. Does the tabs widget work correctly when the Visual Editor is active? Yes, when the Visual Editor is active the elementor tabs widget works fine. I disabled others plugins and continue the problem. In the log of Elementor appears this error: /wp-content/plugins/elementor/assets/js/editor.min.js?ver=3.0.16:2:176614] Cannot read properties of null (reading \’fire\’) * I look forward to your kind response, thank you in advance. - This reply was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by [patyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patyer/). - This reply was modified 2 years, 2 months ago by [patyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patyer/). * Plugin Support [Denny Paul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thetechxpert/) * (@thetechxpert) * [2 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-elements-tabs-addon-when-i-deactivate-visual-editor-wordpress/#post-17678745) * Hello [@patyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patyer/), * Thank you for getting back to us. * I see that you are having issue with a Tab Addon plugin. * Please note that you will need to contact the respective addon support to further check the issue. * We provide support only for issues related to Elementor widgets. * Best Regards. * Thread Starter [patyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patyer/) * (@patyer) * [2 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-elements-tabs-addon-when-i-deactivate-visual-editor-wordpress/#post-17678750) * [@thetechxpert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thetechxpert/) The issue is in Elementor plugin, when I use “tabs” element, not in other plugin * Thank you and regards * Plugin Support [marthaeli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marthaeli/) * (@marthaeli) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-elements-tabs-addon-when-i-deactivate-visual-editor-wordpress/#post-17688639) * Hi [@patyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patyer/) * I noted you are using an old version of the Elementor core plugin, the latest version is 3.21.0.

Can you please tell us where the tabs widget is specifically located on the URL you provided? When I inspect the page using the browser’s inspect tool, I only see a tabs widget that appears to be coming from a third- party plugin. If you can provide a screenshot of the tabs widget in the Editor, that would be great. * In addition, it appears there is custom code being applied on the site. As part of the troubleshooting process, please disable any custom code to ensure it is not causing a conflict with the tabs widget. * Kind Regards. * Thread Starter [patyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patyer/) * (@patyer) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-elements-tabs-addon-when-i-deactivate-visual-editor-wordpress/#post-17728988) * Hi, the Elementor tabs widget is used in various sections of the website, below I mention some routes where they are used within the site: * [https://www.snieg.mx/ucc-capacitacion-sp-ue/](https://www.snieg.mx/ucc-capacitacion-sp-ue/) * [https://www.snieg.mx/snieg-iin-riin_v2/](https://www.snieg.mx/snieg-iin-riin_v2/) * [https://www.snieg.mx/calendario_iin/](https://www.snieg.mx/calendario_iin/) * [https://www.snieg.mx/scn-v2/](https://www.snieg.mx/scn-v2/) * [https://www.snieg.mx/scn-normatividad-historica/](https://www.snieg.mx/scn-normatividad-historica/) * Thanks in advance for your help, regards * Plugin Support [Denny Paul](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thetechxpert/) * (@thetechxpert) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-elements-tabs-addon-when-i-deactivate-visual-editor-wordpress/#post-17734629) * Hello [@patyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patyer/) , * Thank you for the clarification. * I was able to replicate the issue by following the steps you mentioned. * The issue has been reported to our developers. * For now, you can either uncheck the ‘Disable visual editor’ option in profile. * Or, you can slightly drag the tabs to make them clickable. * Screencast: [https://www.loom.com/share/3a5a9f64726b44f3bf696c2bdcbc6824](https://www.loom.com/share/3a5a9f64726b44f3bf696c2bdcbc6824) * We are extremely sorry for the inconvenience caused. * Best regards. * Thread Starter [patyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patyer/) * (@patyer) * [2 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-elements-tabs-addon-when-i-deactivate-visual-editor-wordpress/#post-17739012) * Hi [@thetechxpert](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thetechxpert/), thank you very much for your help, for now I will do the alternative solution mentioned in the video, although, this would be excellent if the developer team considered this situation to improve the plugin. * Best regards * Plugin Support [marthaeli](https://wordpress.org/support/users/marthaeli/) * (@marthaeli) * [2 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-elements-tabs-addon-when-i-deactivate-visual-editor-wordpress/#post-17754822) * Hi [@patyer](https://wordpress.org/support/users/patyer/), * Thank you for the reply. * I wanted to let you know, that the issue is already added to the system Backlog and should be reviewed by our developers in the nearest future. * It should be addressed in one of the upcoming updates.
