When using the Tabber widget, you may encounter issues where other widgets cannot be resized. This guide provides a step-by-step solution to resolve the problem by temporarily removing and recreating the Tabber widget while ensuring all widgets remain functional.

Step-by-Step Guide

Identify the Problem: Confirm that the issue is with the Tabber widget not allowing the resizing of other widgets on the dashboard.
Delete the Tabber Widget: Before deleting the Tabber widget, copy any scripts associated with it. Remove the Tabber widget from the dashboard.
Resize the Widgets: Resize the other widgets on the dashboard as needed. Ensure that the widgets are properly sized before re-adding the Tabber widget.
Recreate the Tabber Widget: Add the Tabber widget back to the dashboard. Paste the previously copied script into the new Tabber widget.
Verify the Solution: Check if the resizing issue is resolved in the duplicated dashboard. Ensure that the Tabber widget and other widgets are functioning correctly. Troubleshooting Tips
Edit Mode Issues: If you cannot change the size of widgets in edit mode, try adding another widget next to the one you want to resize. This can sometimes resolve resizing issues.

Conclusion

By following the steps, you can restore full resizing functionality. If issues persist, try adding another widget nearby as a workaround. This ensures a smooth and flexible dashboard layout.
