  1. Upload the plugin files to \/wp-content\/plugins\/multilayer-image-and-text-block\/<\/code>, or install directly from the WordPress plugins screen.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress.<\/li>\n
  3. In the block editor, search for \"MultiLayer\" or find it under the 'Design' category.<\/li>\n
  4. Choose your starter template: Hero Section, Compact Banner, or start from scratch.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n

    Can I use multiple blocks on the same page?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes! You can add as many MultiLayer blocks as you want, each with its own independent layers and settings.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Is it compatible with my theme?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    The block works with all modern block-based themes (Block Themes) and most classic themes that support the block editor.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Can I use custom fonts?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Yes, the block inherits fonts from your theme and supports all Google Fonts if your theme includes them.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Is it responsive?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Absolutely. All layers and positioning work responsively. You can also set different container heights for different screen sizes.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How do I get started quickly?<\/h3><\/dt>\n

    Just insert the block! It automatically loads a stunning demo layout with layered images and text that you can customize immediately. You can also choose from Hero Section, Compact Banner, or Blank Canvas templates.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
