So those “tabs” I see are just a menu that kinda looks tabby?
That’s correct. They are styled in that fashion but redirect you to the appropriate page on click rather than hide/show tab content without leaving the page as proper tabs would do.
I’ve tried some tab plugins, but I’ve been trying to place a carousel block within the tabs, and so far with the plugins I have tried it stops the carousel from working properly.
Unfortunately, the best I can suggest here would be to reach out to the individual plugins’ support.
Looking at the patterns library on ww.wp.xz.cn, is it the same with the sort buttons at the top “all, featured, post…”? The sort buttons are just a navigation block?
Yes, it appears so. When I inspect the page I can see those buttons are a navigation block using a custom block style called “Button List”, created by the theme. You can also see by clicking each button that the entire page refreshes as you navigate to a new URL.
What would be the difference, pros and cons, of using the navigation block to create pseudo-tabs vs just a row with text, heading, or buttons, each linking to the URLs.
In general, it’s best practice to create semantic HTML. In this case, if your collection of links and buttons are navigating a user to a new page, it would make sense for these links to belong under a <nav> element. Using the navigation block for such a scenario would provide benefits from accessibility to SEO.
Just note this is in relation to a designated collection of navigation links rather than individual links that might be sprinkled throughout your content.
