FAQ

What does this plugin do?

It makes it very easy for users to add a cool tabbed area in their sidebar.

I don’t like the look, can I change it?

Tabber Tabs comes with two tabs styles built in. Just choose which one you want from the dropdown in the Tabber Tabs widget.

I tried the default styles and still don’t like the look, can I change it?

Absolutely! If you know CSS then you can change the entire look of your tabbed area; colors, tab style, anything.

I just designed the coolest custom tabs! Do you want to include them with the plugin?

That would be great. If you designed some really cool tabs, with some custom CSS, and you would like us to include it as a “style”, then please contact us.
