Inserting widget

First, open your page with Elementor editor and then search for the Forbes widget from the widget menu on your left. Simply click and drag-drop it inside the page to start.

All Content Tab Customizations

Basically, the Content tab holds the base interface controls that help you directly change the shape of the widget (the interface that you see on display). Get used to it to easily customize the Elementor tabs.

Layout settings you can use

Go to Content> Layout

In the first section, you get to adjust the items gap or the white space between the items through a scrollbar. Then you can change the content height scrollbar to find the most suitable height for your page. Also, the image size option lets you change the size or dimension of all images displayed inside the tabs.

Set up Query controls

Go to Content> Query

Inside the Query section, you will discover the methods to limit the number of items displayed through Item Limit in the tabs or sort out the post data according to some parameters. The Include field lets you choose specific sources or items to be displayed in the tabs. The Exclude option works exactly opposite where it lets you choose what to not display in the Elementor tabs.

The two switchers (Ignore Sticky Post & Only Featured Image Post) at the bottom can help you not to display sticky posts or display only the posts with featured images.

Additional settings customization

Go to Content> Additional

4 5 - BdThemes

The Additional section mostly comprises switchers that let you show or hide specific elements like header, title, arrow, etc. from the tabs interface. You can tweak the switcher from here to make a final layout containing the information delivery style that you have chosen for the Elementor tabs.

Close to the bottom, you will find date & time settings for the posts and a customizable header label for the tabs.

Style tab customizations

The style tab exists for the sole purpose of letting the users enjoy dynamic appearance customizations to modify the looks of the tabs through different color settings, padding, margin, borders, and many more.

Let’s explore the style options for the Forbes Tabs widget.

Header part customizations
