## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the Post Listing block isn't showing up?**
A: If the Post Listing block isn't appearing, ensure that the Nexter Blocks plugin is installed and activated. This block is essential for creating custom loop skins using inline editing. Without it, you won't have access to the features needed to customize your blog post layout.

**Q: What is the best way to customize the layout of individual post items?**
A: To customize the layout of individual post items, use the Edit Layout icon in the Post Listing block. This feature allows you to modify elements like the post title, featured image, and meta information directly in the block editor, giving you full control over your design.

**Q: What happens if I discard changes made in the inline editor?**
A: If you click the cross icon to discard changes in the inline editor, all modifications made to the post item will be lost. It's a good practice to review your edits before applying them with the tick icon to ensure your custom design is saved.

**Q: Are there any limitations when using the Post Listing block?**
