The Tabs Tours block offers two options to add custom content inside tabs, **Editor** (Free) and **Pattern** (Pro).

First, add the Tabs Tours block on the page and go to the tab you want to add the content.

From the **Content Type** choose **Editor **from the section.

With the Editor option selected you can directly use the default WordPress block editor inside the tab content area which allows you to use almost any block like image, gallery, video, post list etc. or you can even use our Container block to create interesting layouts inside the tabs.

The second option is Pattern, in this option too you can use the default WordPress block editor and combine different blocks to create your layouts but you have to save it as a Pattern first then you can use it inside the tabs as content.

If you have certain content in a layout that you are using at multiple places on your website and want to display the same in tabs too then the Pattern option would be the best choice.

The advantage of using a Pattern is that if you make any changes to it will automatically update everywhere it is being used.

To make a Pattern, create the layout first and make sure all the blocks are within one container. Select the main container then click on the **3 dots** at the end and click on **Create Pattern**.

Once you have created the Pattern add the Tabs Tours block on the page and open the tab and from **Content Type **choose **Pattern **and then select your created Pattern from the dropdown.

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: How do I add an image inside a WordPress Tabs block?**
A: The Tabs Tours block in Nexter Blocks lets you place an image directly inside a tab by using the Editor content type. That matters because the tab content area is not limited to text, so you can build richer layouts without leaving the WordPress block editor. The page also says you can use blocks like image, gallery, video, and post list inside the tab.

**Q: What should I use if I want the same tab content reused in multiple places?**
A: Pattern is the better choice when the same layout needs to appear in more than one tab or on more than one page. Nexter Blocks says any change to a Pattern updates everywhere it is used, which saves time and keeps repeated content consistent. That makes it a better fit than Editor when the content is shared across your site.

**Q: Why isn't the Tabs Tours block showing up in WordPress?**
A: The Tabs Tours block is part of Nexter Blocks, so it needs to be installed and activated before it will be available. If the block is missing, that is usually the first thing to check because the tutorial depends on that plugin being active. Once it is enabled, you can add the block and choose either Editor or Pattern for tab content.

**Q: Can I use normal WordPress blocks inside tabs instead of just text?**
A: The Tabs Tours block supports almost any WordPress block inside tab content, not just plain text. The page specifically mentions image, gallery, video, post list, and even the Container block for building layouts. That flexibility is what makes it useful for tabs that need real content instead of simple labels.

**Q: What is the best way to build complex layouts inside WordPress tabs?**
A: Editor works well for quick custom layouts, but Pattern is better when you want a reusable design with multiple blocks grouped into one container. The page says to create the layout first, keep all blocks within one container, then create a Pattern from the main container. That structure matters because Patterns are meant to be reused cleanly inside tabs.

**Q: Where can I find more details about the Nexter Blocks Tabs Tours block?**
