Themeforest

The profiles all appear in the widget area but not in a tabbed sliding panel

There are several reasons why the social media tabs may fail to load properly:

1. The necessary code is missing from the page footer. The plugin adds the required jQuery code to your template footer. Make sure that your template files contain the wp_footer() function – this is usually located just before the closing body tag in your theme’s footer file.

2. Other non-functioning plugins, which may have errors and cause the plugin javascript to not load. Remove any unwanted plugins and try again. Checking with Firebug will show where these error are occuring.

3. Either your theme files or another plugin is loading jQuery a 2nd time – this will result in the code required for the tabs being overwritten. If you have jQuery hardcoded into your theme’s header see the following FAQ for instructions on how to add jQuery correctly – Adding jQuery to your theme files using wp_enqueue_script

  • Problem with IE9, maybe in early versions too (all tabs all the time)

    Solution:
    In dcsmt.css file, line 118, just add “position:relative;”

    *original*

    /* Sliding Tabs */
    .dcsmt {
    overflow: hidden;  /* Required to hide the inactive slides */
    }

    *new one*

    /* Sliding Tabs */
    .dcsmt {
    overflow: hidden; position:relative; /* Required to hide the inactive slides */
    }

    Two days searching. Works for me.

    Awesome plugin! Thanks Lee!

    • Great. Thanks for the fix!

  • Lee-

    Can you check my site and debug why thing are going haywire please.

    Thanks!

  • Social Media Tabs plugin- having browser display problems. Chrome, Safari, Firefox working great. IE8 displaying all tabs all the time – not hiding the tabs that are not currently being viewed. Using Thesis Theme. Can you give me an idea of what might be the issue? I don’t think it’s a jquery problem since it IS showing – just not displaying correctly?. Is there a IE8 browser fix?

    • Hi,

      It sounds like a jquery problem. If the jquery is not initialising then the tabs will all show at the same time. Check the site using firebug to see if there are any other scripts causing errors

  • Lee i am sorry for my ignorance, but what should i do to fix that ?

    • If you have already added jquery using the wp_enqueue_script method then you can just delete those lines from your theme files

  • i added the jquery to my theme file like you instructed but still does not work….i also checked for the wp_footer () function and it is there ….my blog is ; italyinyourpocket.com
    Thanks
