# How to set an anchor link to a tab item in Elementor?

## 

- The Plus Addons for Elementor Tabs/Tours widget lets each tab item receive a Unique ID, such as tab-features or tab-pricing, so anchor links can jump directly to that tab’s content.
- Elementor Button widget uses the ID in the Link field with a # prefix, so #tab-features sends visitors to the matching tab item.
- The setup fits one-page websites, FAQ pages, and landing pages where buttons or links open a specific tabbed section instead of the full widget.

Sometimes you want a link to open a page with a particular tab already open, such as the pricing tab of a product page.

The **Tabs/Tours** widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor lets you give each tab a **Unique ID**. A page address that ends in `#` plus that ID opens the page with that tab active.

## Before You Start

- **Edition:** **Pro** — Unique ID needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. The Tabs/Tours widget itself is free.- **Widget to enable:** Tabs/Tours, switched on under **The Plus Addons > Widgets**.

## Step 1: Give the Tab an ID

- Add the **Tabs/Tours** widget and open the tab you want to link to in **Content**.- Type an ID in **Unique ID**, without the `#`, for example `pricing`. Use letters, numbers and hyphens, and use each ID only once on the page.

## Step 2: Link to the Tab

Add `#pricing` to the end of the page address and use that full address in your link, for example `https://example.com/product/#pricing`. Use it in menus, buttons on other pages, emails or social posts.

When the page opens, it scrolls to the tab titles and opens the Pricing tab.

## Links Inside the Tabs

A link inside the content of one tab can open another tab of the same widget. Link the text to `#pricing`; clicking it opens the Pricing tab.

## Limitations

- **A link elsewhere on the same page does not switch the tab.** In our test, an Elementor Button above the tabs with the link `#pricing` changed the address, but the first tab stayed open. The ID only works when the page loads with it, or from a link inside the same Tabs/Tours widget.- The Unique ID becomes the HTML id of the tab title, so it must not be used by any other element on the page.- The Unique ID field is not part of the free plugin.

## Troubleshooting

### The page opens but the tab does not change

- Check that the ID in the link matches the **Unique ID** exactly, and that you did not type the `#` in the field.- If the link is on the same page as the tabs, it will not switch the tab. Open the full address in a new page load instead.
