Related Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if the Spacer block isn't showing up in Nexter Blocks?

If the Spacer block isn't visible, ensure that the Nexter Blocks plugin is installed and activated. Navigate to Nexter u2192 Blocks, search for the Spacer, and toggle it on. If it's still not appearing, check that the default WordPress Block editor is active, as NexterWP relies on it for functionality.

What is the difference between Normal and Global spacing types in the Spacer block?

The Normal spacing type allows you to customize the height of the blank space, giving you flexibility in design. In contrast, Global spacing uses pre-defined values that you cannot edit. Choose Normal for tailored adjustments or Global for consistency across your site.

What happens if I forget to activate the Spacer block?

If you forget to activate the Spacer block, you won't be able to add blank space to your pages. This can lead to a cluttered layout and hinder readability. Always verify that the Spacer is activated in Nexter u2192 Blocks before attempting to use it.

Are there any limitations when using the Spacer block?

One limitation of the Global spacing type is that you cannot edit the spacing height once it's set. This means you need to choose wisely when opting for Global spacing, as it may not fit all design needs. For more control, use the Normal option instead.

How do I adjust the height of the Spacer block once it's added?

After adding the Spacer block, you can adjust its height by selecting the Normal spacing type in the Type section. This allows you to customize the vertical spacing to fit your design requirements, ensuring that your layout remains clean and organized.
