Well the shortcodes enable the tab plugin I am using to work, just adding the div tags to the page.php does not enable the tabs. I have to use the php echo do_shortcode to make them work. My end goal is to have a page template my friend can select and then the tabs are automatically on the page, but I want him to be able to use custom fields to add the content for each tab, since I will not be adding it and he is not able to hand code them. Does that make since?
Here is the code
<?php echo do_shortcode('[wptabs]
[wptabtitle]News[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'fieldtext', true); ?> [/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]Stats[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent] Contents of the Quotes tab [/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]Pedigree[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent] Contents of the Tables tab [/wptabcontent]
[/wptabs]'); ?>
