## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the button doesn't appear in my WordPress table cell?**
A: If the button isn't showing up, ensure that you have set the Action section to Cell Content in the Table Body tab. If this setting is incorrect, the button toggle won't function as intended. Additionally, confirm that you have the Nexter Blocks installed and activated, as this feature is part of that package.

**Q: How do I add a custom attribute to my button in a WordPress table?**
A: To add a custom attribute to your button, simply turn on the Add Custom Attributes toggle in the button settings. This allows you to include additional data that can be useful for tracking or functionality, enhancing the button's capabilities.

**Q: Does the Nexter Blocks Data Table block support mobile responsiveness?**
A: The Nexter Blocks Data Table block is designed to be responsive, ensuring that your tables and buttons display well on mobile devices. This is crucial for maintaining a good user experience across different screen sizes.

**Q: What happens if I forget to set the button URL in my WordPress table?**
A: If you forget to set the button URL, the button will still appear in the table, but it won't lead users anywhere when clicked. This can lead to confusion, so always ensure that the URL field is filled out to provide a clear action for users.
