Metro Tabs adds block-editor (Gutenberg) blocks for building tabbed content. You add a Metro Tabs: Tab Group block, then add one or more Metro Tabs: Tab Item blocks inside it. Each tab has a heading (the label visitors click) and a content area where you can add any blocks—paragraphs, images, lists, etc. On the front end, visitors see a simple tab bar and panes; clicking a tab switches the visible content without reloading the page.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Tab Group block – Container for one set of tabs. You can use multiple Tab Group blocks on the same page for different tab sets.</li>
<li>Tab Item block – A single tab: editable heading and a content area that supports any blocks (paragraphs, headings, images, etc.).</li>
<li>No JavaScript libraries – Uses vanilla JavaScript only; no jQuery or jQuery UI.</li>
<li>Block API version 3 – Compatible with the current block editor (WordPress 6.3+ iframe editor).</li>
<li>Lightweight styling – Discrete front-end styles (underline-style active tab); you can override with your theme or custom CSS.</li>
</ul>
<h4>How to use</h4>
<ol>
<li>In the block editor, add a Metro Tabs: Tab Group block (search for “Metro Tabs” or “Tab Group”).</li>
<li>Inside the group, you’ll see placeholder Tab Items (e.g. “Tab 1”, “Tab 2”). Click each Metro Tabs: Tab Item block and:
<ul>
<li>Edit the tab heading (the text shown on the tab).</li>
<li>Add any blocks in the tab content area (paragraphs, images, etc.).</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Add or remove Tab Item blocks as needed. You can add more Tab Groups elsewhere on the page for separate tab sets.</li>
<li>Publish or update. On the front end, the tab bar and panes are built automatically; clicking a tab switches the visible pane.</li>
</ol>
No settings or configuration are required. The plugin enqueues its script and styles on the front end when the page contains tab blocks.
<h4>Compatibility</h4>
<ul>
<li>Requires WordPress 6.0 or higher (block editor).</li>
<li>Requires PHP 8.0 or higher.</li>
</ul>
