    Hi,

    I have an existing field group with tabs. My tabs stopped working when I changed the "Tab Style" setting, regardless of the selected value.

    If it can help, I exported the fields in json and compared it with another from an old backup and the following parameters disappeared :

    <div>"custom_settings": {
    "tab_style": {
    "id": "tab_style",
    "key": "tab_style",
    "value": "default"
    },
    "tab_default_active": {
    "id": "tab_default_active",
    "key": "tab_default_active",
    "value": ""
    },
    "tab_remember": {
    "id": "tab_remember",
    "key": "tab_remember",
    "value": false
    }
    },</div>

    Metabox AIO version 2.1.0

    Thanks for your help,

    Didier

    Hello,

    Thank you for your feedback.

    I see the issue with Tabs when using the builder. It still works properly if you use the code to register the custom fields. Please use the code in the meantime, I'm escalating this issue to the development team to fix it soon.

    Refer documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-tabs/

    I installed Metab box Aio 2.0.2, on an existing site if I upgrade to 2.1.0 the Tabs don't work, do I continue to build a new site that I am developing with 2.0.2? and upgrade when you fixed the bug?

    I add here the code for my custom fields, where the TABs are there but are not shown in the WordPress interface.

    Hello Motiveink,

    Please register the custom fields with PHP code instead of JSON file to use the tab. Follwing the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/meta-box-tabs/

    Is this only a temporary solution? Will you make an update where the problem will be fixed? And on the other sites can I upgrade to version 2.1.0
    When updated this TAB problem happened

    For anyone facing this issue, here's how I temporarily fixed it:

    Install MetaBox AIO version 1.31.0.

    Go to Custom Fields, select your field, change the tab design, and save.

    After making these changes for all fields, you can update to the latest plugin version again. Don't make any further changes and wait for a patch.

    To the MetaBox team: Every update seems to introduce new issues. It feels like there's little to no testing before releasing patches. I’ve stopped updating the plugin once it’s working, because I’m almost certain that doing so will cause problems. If I didn’t have a lifetime license, I would have switched to another solution long ago.

    Please focus on proper testing before publishing updates to avoid these recurring issues.

    Having to register the fields as PHP instead of through the UI (json) is not an acceptable solution for us. We use Metabox on many sites. I'm assuming this will actually be fixed soon? This is a big bug that affects almost all of our sites. Even having to rollback the plugin is a frustrating solution.

    What's the status of a fix?

    Hello,

    The development team is working on this issue. It will be included in the next update of Meta Box plugins.
    In the meantime, you can use the PHP code to register the custom fields as an alternative way.

    I appreciate your patience.
