Hi –
I’m redesigning our choir’s website to go from Ruby to WordPress, so I’m having to re-create some things via plugins and theme features that were formerly heavily customized programming.

Our previous Members Area had tabs for each of the vocal sections (see attached), as well as the Board of Directors, Singer Council, and Staff.
To recreate that as closely as possible, I’m using the Connections shortcode with the Tabs option included in the new theme, Weaver Xtreme (formerly Weaver II).

The directory listing looks great, but when you click on a name, the tabs persist in the background, leading the casual user to believe you can still click on them. (See additional attached)

I suspect I’ll need to talk to the Weaver Xtreme folks as well, but do you have any feedback on how to hide the tabs?

You could set up two pages, one for the tabbed view and one to view the single entry. Here’s how:

• Edit the page the directory is currently on. Look in the browser’s address bar and not the page id that WordPress has assigned the page.
• Create a new page. On this new page add only the Connections shortcode with the home_id shortcode option set to the page ID of the initial directory page.
• After you save the new page, Take note of its page ID.
• Edit the original page again and add the home_id shortcode option setting it to the new page.
• Ensure the new page does not display in your sites navigation.

Now, when an entry is clicked on your directory page, the links will resolve to the new second page displaying only that entry with no other content.

Hope that helps!
