## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the toggle menu isn't appearing on mobile?**
A: If the toggle menu isn't showing, ensure that you've enabled the Responsive Mobile Menu toggle in the Mobile Menu tab. This setting specifies when the mobile menu should be active based on screen width. If it's still not visible, check that the Navigation Menu block is correctly installed and activated, as it's essential for this feature.

**Q: What are the best practices for setting up a mobile toggle menu?**
A: When setting up a mobile toggle menu, it's best to specify the minimum screen width for the mobile menu in the Open Mobile Menu section. This ensures that users on smaller devices have an optimized navigation experience. Additionally, consider using the Toggle Style dropdown to choose a style that fits your website's design.

**Q: Does the Nexter Blocks Navigation Menu block work with other page builders?**
A: The Nexter Blocks Navigation Menu block is designed primarily for use with the Gutenberg editor. While it supports Elementor and Bricks, the full functionality is optimized for Gutenberg.
