## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the particle effect isn't displaying on my WordPress site?**
A: If the particle effect isn't showing, first ensure that the Nexter Blocks plugin is installed and activated, as the Container block is part of this package. Check that you've selected the Canvas Effect from the Select Background Option dropdown in the Container block settings. If the issue persists, verify that your browser supports the necessary JavaScript for the animation to function properly.

**Q: What is the best background color to use with the particle effect for visibility?**
A: For optimal visibility of the particle effect, it's recommended to add a normal background color to the container. This contrast helps the animated particles stand out, enhancing the overall visual appeal of your section. Experiment with different colors to find the best fit for your design.

**Q: Does the particle effect work with other WordPress themes?**
A: The particle effect is specifically designed to work with the Nexter Blocks Container block. While it may function with other themes, NexterWP products like Nexter Blocks and Nexter Theme are optimized for seamless integration, ensuring the best performance and visual quality when used together.

**Q: Are there any limitations when using the particle effect in Nexter Blocks?**
A: One limitation is that the Custom Skin option requires you to input valid particle JSON code. If the code is incorrect or not formatted properly, the effect may not display as intended. Additionally, ensure that your site performance is not hindered by excessive animations, as this can affect load times.
