<p>Whistles was not born as “just another tabs plugin”.  It was born out of the idea that we need to get rid of all other plugins like this and start from scratch.</p>
<p>It seems to me that tabs plugins have been clunky and extremely hard to use over the years.  Whistles seeks to rectify this by making it easy to manage tabs, toggles, accordions, and other things that need to be embedded into a page.</p>
<h3>So, what is Whistles? Are whistles? Can you whistle?</h3>
<p>Whistles is a plugin that creates a new content type called “whistle” and a new taxonomy called “whistle group”.  The plugin allows you to create individual whistles and organize them into whistle groups however you see fit.  Then, it allows you to embed whistle groups into posts using the <code>[whistles]</code> shortcode or adding it via the Whistles widget.</p>
<p>You can also decide how you want to display your whistles.  In the current version of the plugin, they can be displayed as:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tabs</li>
<li>Toggles</li>
<li>Accordions</li>
</ul>
<p>The great thing about this method is that you’re pretty much able to put whatever content you want into your whistles.  It’s no different than writing a post or page.  You can insert text, images, media, and even other shortcodes.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<ul>
<li>“Whistles” screen in the admin under “Appearance” for creating whistles.</li>
<li>“Whistle Groups” screen in the admin under “Appearance” for organizing whistles.</li>
<li><code>[whistles]</code> shortcode for displaying whistles.</li>
<li>“Add Whistles” media button above the post content editor for inserting whistles.</li>
<li>“Whistles” widget under the “Appearance > Widgets” admin screen.</li>
</ul>

AH Shortcodes

The size of the plugin, and the easiness in using it are major pluses. However when the plugin is activated yo cannot save your changes made in the theme customizer, thus making it unusable as it is.

If the customizer issue is fixed, I would gladly and enthusiastically give this plugin what it deserves - 5 stars.

Note: How did this plugin get the review team's approval with such an obvious issue?

Update: I do confirm the fix (to show how FAST you fixed the issue I'm leaving the original review posted a few hours earlier), and I as promised I am changing my rating to 5 stars.

Andreas, you are an excellent and helpful and extremely responsive developer, you have my full backing if it means anything.... i wish more developers were as responsive as you !!!

Thanks a million!

Really good, super responsive support !!!

This is a simple shortcode generator. Add buttons, columns, tabs, toggles and alerts to your theme.
