Make Elementor Tabs Switch on Hover

Step 1 — Add a Custom Class to the Tabs Widget

1. Click your Tabs Widget
2. Go to Advanced → CSS Classes
3. Add:

hover-tabs

Step 2 — Add This JavaScript

Add this in:

• Elementor → Custom Code (Pro)
  OR
• HTML widget at bottom of page
  OR
• Your theme footer

<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
  const tabWrappers = document.querySelectorAll('.hover-tabs');

  tabWrappers.forEach(wrapper => {
    const tabTitles = wrapper.querySelectorAll('.e-n-tab-title');

    tabTitles.forEach(tab => {
      tab.addEventListener('mouseenter', function() {
        this.click();
      });
    });
  });
});
</script>

Optional: Remove Click Delay Feel

Sometimes Elementor adds transition delay. If it feels laggy, add this CSS:

.hover-tabs .elementor-tab-content {
  transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
}

Important Note (UX Tip)

Hover tabs are great for:

• Desktop layouts
• Showcase sections
• Feature comparisons

But they’re NOT great for mobile (no hover on touch).

This script keeps click functionality on mobile automatically — so you’re safe.
