jQuery toggleClass related to showing different menus - SEO

I am very new to jQuery and one thing I always wanted to try was to create buttons that show different sections one at a time. I have just learned toggleClass function and currently this is what I have.
There are 3 things I would like to fix to get a desired result. I really appreciate for tips and help. Followings are the problems.

I would like to start off with lists in the section being visible and users are given a choice to toggle between whichever they want to see. Does this mean I have to apply display:”none” and probably name it inactive class and play around with it?
Every time I click the same button again, it goes back to the original state which is “display:none”. Is there a way to just stop the toggle effect when it is pressed for the second time?
If I play around with the first 3 buttons and try to show all by pressing AllButton, it does not show the SEO part for some reason. I assume it has something do with how I coded…

If what I wrote down confuses you even more, could you help me find a reference or link that teaches how to do this in a proper way? I can’t seem to find anywhere including YouTube and CodePen. I will also leave a portfolio link that has a example of what I am trying to achieve. Thank you for reading!

Instead of toggleClass use addClass to prevent being hide the section when we click button twice.

Shorter version:

https://jsfiddle.net/ewu019hj/1/

var buttons = $(".buttons button");

buttons.on('click', function(e) {
  var idx = buttons.index(e.target)
  if (idx === 3) { //All button
    $("#points-of-sale ul li").addClass("active");
  } else {
    $("#points-of-sale ul li").removeClass("active");
    $("#points-of-sale ul li:eq(" + idx + ")").addClass("active");
  }
});

var WebButton = $(".buttons button:nth-child(1)");
var EButton = $(".buttons button:nth-child(2)");
var SEOButton = $(".buttons button:nth-child(3)");
var AllButton = $(".buttons button:nth-child(4)");

var buttons = $('.buttons button');



WebButton[0].onclick = function(){
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(2)").removeClass("active");
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(3)").removeClass("active");
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(1)").addClass("active");
}

EButton[0].onclick = function(){
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(1)").removeClass("active");
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(3)").removeClass("active");
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(2)").addClass("active");
}

SEOButton[0].onclick = function(){
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(1)").removeClass("active");
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(2)").removeClass("active");
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(3)").addClass("active");
}

AllButton[0].onclick = function(){
  $("#points-of-sale ul li").addClass("active");
}

#points-of-sale ul li {
   display:none;
}

.active {
    display:block !important;
}

Try this:

https://jsfiddle.net/ewu019hj/

It encapsulates your hide/logic into one function which the button handlers can call.

var WebButton = $(".buttons button:nth-child(1)");
var EButton = $(".buttons button:nth-child(2)");
var SEOButton = $(".buttons button:nth-child(3)");
var AllButton = $(".buttons button:nth-child(4)");

function show(index) {
    if (typeof(index) === 'undefined') {
        $("#points-of-sale ul li").addClass("active");
    } else {
        $("#points-of-sale ul li").removeClass("active");
        $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(" + index + ")").addClass("active");
    }
}

WebButton[0].onclick = function() {
  show(1);
}

EButton[0].onclick = function() {
  show(2);
}

SEOButton[0].onclick = function() {
  show(3);
}

AllButton[0].onclick = function() {
  show();
}

show(1);

This also gives you the option to specify a default.

use this code :

var WebButton = $(".buttons button:nth-child(1)");
var EButton = $(".buttons button:nth-child(2)");
var SEOButton = $(".buttons button:nth-child(3)");
var AllButton = $(".buttons button:nth-child(4)");

WebButton[0].onclick = function(){
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(2)").removeClass("active");
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(3)").removeClass("active");
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(1)").addClass("active");
}

EButton[0].onclick = function(){
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(1)").removeClass("active");
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(3)").removeClass("active");
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(2)").addClass("active");
}

SEOButton[0].onclick = function(){
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(1)").removeClass("active");
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(2)").removeClass("active");
  $("#points-of-sale ul li:nth-child(3)").addClass("active");
}

AllButton[0].onclick = function(){
  $("#points-of-sale ul li").addClass("active");
}

#points-of-sale ul li {
   display:none;
}

.active {
    display:block !important;
}

It’s a simple logic see code here

$(document).ready(function(){
  $(document).on('click','.buttons button', function(){

    if($(this).hasClass('current')){ return 0; }
    //when click current active item then not take any action

    //else 
    if($(this).hasClass('all')) { //when click the all button then the show all item here

      $(this).addClass('current').siblings('button').removeClass('current');
      $(document).find('#points-of-sale ul li').fadeIn(300);      

    }else { //normally work this section when not all button click

      $(this).addClass('current').siblings('button').removeClass('current');
      $(document).find('#points-of-sale ul li').fadeOut(0).eq($('.buttons button').index(this)).fadeIn(300);
    }
  });
})

$(window).on('load',function(){

  //set the first item active
  $(document).find('#points-of-sale ul li').eq(0).fadeIn(500); // show the first item 
  $(document).find('.buttons button').eq(0).addClass('current'); // active the first button 
  
})

#points-of-sale ul li {
   display:none;
}
button.current { color: gray; }
