4. Rows on Mobile — Control how many rows appear on mobile.
5. Item Spacing — Adjust spacing between individual posts for a clean, organized layout.
6. Load More Button — Enable this option to let users load more posts manually.

For Slider and Carousel layouts, you can also adjust the navigation, pagination, auto-play, and other settings:

1. Auto Play — Enable this option to make your feed scroll automatically.
2. Animation — Set how fast the posts scroll within the widget.
3. Scroll Mode (Carousel) — Set the feed to scroll by one post or an entire page.
4. Pagination — Show or hide pagination dots at the bottom of the feed.
5. Navigation Arrows — Enable or disable navigation arrows to let users browse posts.
6. Swipe Navigation — Enable swipe navigation for easier browsing on touch devices.
7. RTL — Enable Right-to-Left mode for languages such as Arabic or Hebrew.
