        <div id="tab3" class="wpturbo-custom-tab-content"><?php _e( 'Content for Tab 3 goes here.', 'wpturbo' ); ?></div>

In this tutorial, we will learn how to create tabs in WordPress using a custom function and shortcode. Tabs allow you to organize content into easily navigable sections and are a great way to display a lot of information in a small space.

First, we define a new function called wpturbo_create_tabs(). This function contains the HTML markup to create the tabs. We start with a div with a class of wpturbo-custom-tabs-container, which will be the container for the tabs and their content.

Inside the container, we create a ul element with a class of wpturbo-custom-tabs, which will contain the menu items for the tabs. In this example, we create three tabs, each with a custom label using the _e() function to ensure they are translatable.

<ul class="wpturbo-custom-tabs">
    <li><a href="#tab1"><?php _e( 'Tab 1', 'wpturbo' ); ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="#tab2"><?php _e( 'Tab 2', 'wpturbo' ); ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="#tab3"><?php _e( 'Tab 3', 'wpturbo' ); ?></a></li>
</ul>

Under the ul element, we create separate div elements for each tab's content with the class wpturbo-custom-tab-content. In this example, we add some simple text content to each tab, but you can replace this with anything you like.

<div id="tab1" class="wpturbo-custom-tab-content"><?php _e( 'Content for Tab 1 goes here.', 'wpturbo' ); ?></div>
<div id="tab2" class="wpturbo-custom-tab-content"><?php _e( 'Content for Tab 2 goes here.', 'wpturbo' ); ?></div>
<div id="tab3" class="wpturbo-custom-tab-content"><?php _e( 'Content for Tab 3 goes here.', 'wpturbo' ); ?></div>

Finally, we add a shortcode to WordPress using the add_shortcode() function. The shortcode is named wpturbo_tabs and calls the wpturbo_create_tabs() function we defined earlier. This allows us to place the tabs anywhere on our site by simply adding the shortcode [wpturbo_tabs].

add_shortcode( 'wpturbo_tabs', 'wpturbo_create_tabs' );

With this custom function and shortcode in place, we can easily add tabs to our WordPress site, making it easier for users to navigate and access information.
