## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the follow image cursor isn't showing up on my WordPress site?**
A: If the follow image cursor isn't appearing, first ensure that the Mouse Cursor block from Nexter Blocks is installed and activated. This block is essential for adding the follow image cursor feature. Additionally, double-check that you've selected the correct cursor area and followed the steps to add your image in the Cursor Icon section.

**Q: Can I use the follow image cursor feature on mobile devices?**
A: The follow image cursor feature is designed primarily for desktop interactions, as mobile devices typically do not support mouse cursors in the same way. If you're aiming for a similar effect on mobile, consider using hover effects or animations that are optimized for touch interactions instead.

**Q: What image size works best for the follow image cursor?**
A: For optimal performance, manage the image size using the Icon Max Width section. A smaller image ensures that it follows the cursor smoothly without causing lag. Test different sizes to find the best fit for your design while maintaining a responsive layout.

**Q: What are the benefits of using a follow image cursor on my website?**
A: Adding a follow image cursor can make your website more dynamic and engaging, capturing visitors' attention. It adds a unique touch to user interactions, which can improve user experience and potentially increase time spent on your site. This feature is particularly effective for creative portfolios or interactive designs.
