I need to move tabs in the footer. But if I wrap in the then no content is showing and it’s just a black screen instead. How can I fix it? Thank you. Olga ---

Hi Olga, tabs are simply not swipable, as of Ionic 2. Maybe it will be possible in coming Ionic 3, but for now I confirm this is just not possible. (and whatever location of tabs, if you’re looking for some part of your view to be swipable, I suggest you have a look at a simplier element component like a dynamic ngif\* one, that accepts swipe - there are not many in Ionic 2 components to my memories). (Have a look in `https://ionicframework.com/docs/components/` that have a “swipe/swipeable” attribute). Hope it helps 🙂 ---

Hi FrancoisIonic, thanks for the reply! But now I’m even more confused. What do you mean by tabs not swipeable, how about this one here: > [@Ionic Swipeable Tabs are now here!](https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/ionic-2-swipeable-tabs-are-now-here/84266/38): > > Thanks, I am currently using two “slides” in conjunction for swipe-able tabs. One of the desired features for Swiped tabs is that when the tabs are not contained in the screen, the tabs can be slided to show more tabs. I do not see this in the demo. Is this possible in your version ? Is it deprecated already or something? That’s what I’m using, hmm. ---

Hi Smirnova, it is an unofficial plugin, that I was not aware of sorry. For that plugin I’m totally newbie ☹ Maybe it works with rootpages and params, never tried it. Obviously, it’s not working great, but you should ask the author then for expert advice ☹ ---

Oops, for some reason I thought it’s official… Ok! So, going with your suggestion from the first comment is a safer way then something that’s not in the core, you recon? ---

@Smirnova Sorry for the late reply, yes in the official list of UI components ( [https://ionicframework.com/docs/components/](https://ionicframework.com/docs/components/)) only a few are fully swipable, I don’t remember which of them. In any case it’s safer to go with something that is officially supported to be swipable, for sure yes. Regards,
