As an example, we created 3 tabs:

  1. Update User Profile - Here we added a shortcode from third-party plugin for configuring the user profile.
  2. You Courses - Here is added HTML formatted text with the list of courses.
  3. Book a Lesson - This tab contains a shortcode from third-party plugin which allows to book meetings. This tab is visible only for user roles with the user role Student.
