Question:

For your WordPress tabs plugin, does it work with Google Analytics? Is there an way to allow me to find out "pageview" for each individual tab?

Answer:

In the plugin, step 3 Options tab -> "Tab Options", check the option "Enable Google Analytics", then enter your Google tracking ID to the following input box. Google Analytics tracking ID has a format like UA-XXXXXXXX-1.

The tab clicks will be logged as page views in your Google Analytics account, and it will add a URL parameter tabid=TABID to the current page URL. The TABID starts from 0.

For example, for the tabs on the page https://www.wonderplugin.com/wordpress-tabs/, one click of the second tab will be logged as one page view of /wordpress-tabs/?tabid=1 in Google Analytics, one click of the third tab will be logged as /wordpress-tabs/?tabid=2.
