## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if my photo gallery grid is not displaying correctly?**
A: If your photo gallery grid isn't displaying as expected, ensure that the Media Listing block from Nexter Blocks is installed and activated. This block is essential for creating the gallery. Additionally, check your layout settings; selecting 'Grid' from the Layout section is crucial for proper display. If issues persist, review the images added in the Content tab to confirm they are correctly sourced.

**Q: How do I add custom links to images in my photo gallery?**
A: To add custom links to images in your photo gallery, refer to the tutorial on [creating a WordPress image gallery with custom unique links](https://nexterwp.com/docs/create-wordpress-image-gallery-with-custom-link-to-each-image/). This allows you to direct users to specific pages or resources when they click on an image, enhancing interactivity and engagement.

**Q: Are there any limitations when using the Media Listing block for galleries?**
A: One limitation to consider is that the Media Listing block is part of Nexter Blocks, meaning it requires installation and activation to function. Additionally, while it supports various listing styles, the layout options are predefined, which may limit customization compared to other gallery plugins. Understanding these constraints can help you plan your gallery setup effectively.

**Q: Does using the Media Listing block affect page load speed?**
A: Using the Media Listing block is designed to be lightweight, as it employs zero jQuery and loads only 1 CSS and 1 JS file per page. This efficiency helps maintain optimal page load speeds, which is crucial for user experience and SEO. However, the number of images you include can impact load times, so consider optimizing image sizes before adding them to your gallery.
