Kwel-vrae
-
Where do I enter the description of a file?
-
The description stored at the file in the Media Library itself is used as the description. You can edit it in 2 ways:
- Open the file in the Media Library for editing. There you will find the field “Description”. Enter the desired description here.
- Or open this editing mask via the pencil at the file in the block you have created.
You can also add a custom title and description per file used only by the Block of this plugin.
-
Is there a limit to the number of files?
-
No, there are no limitations.
-
Can I use the block in my theme?
-
The block can basically be used in any theme that supports Gutenberg blocks. If this is the case for your theme, you have to ask your theme developer.
-
Can I add my own icons?
-
Yes, you can manage your custom iconsets in WordPress-backend.
-
No icon is displayed at a file. Why?
-
The file will probably have a file type that does not comply with the WordPress standard and is therefore not included in our plugin. You have 2 options:
- Use the iconset specific hook downloadlist_*_icons to add the list of icons. Check beforehand with the developer of your chosen icon set if the icon you want is included there.
- Use another icon set which supports the file type if necessary.
-
Does the plugin also support Elementor or other PageBuilders?
-
No. The plugin is intended solely for the Gutenberg editor and will not be extended to other PageBuilders.
