## FAQ

### How do I display a pricing table?

Use the shortcode `[costly_table id="X"]` where X is the ID of your table. You can
find the exact shortcode in the table list under **Costly Pricing Tables**  **All
Tables**.

### Can I use multiple pricing tables on the same page?

Absolutely! You can display multiple pricing tables by using different table IDs:`[
costly_table id="1"] [costly_table id="2"]`. Each table renders independently with
its own settings.

### Is the plugin mobile-responsive?

Yes! Costly Pricing Tables is built with a mobile-first approach and automatically
adapts to all screen sizes. When columns exceed the visible limit on smaller screens,
a smooth slider activates for optimal viewing.

### Can I customize the colors and styling?

Yes! Go to **Costly Pricing Tables**  **Settings** to customize colors for both 
light and dark modes. You can also add custom CSS for advanced styling modifications.

### How do I highlight a featured column?

When editing a table, you’ll find a “Highlight” checkbox for each column. Check 
this box for columns you want to emphasize (like “Most Popular” plans).

### How many columns can I add to a table?

There’s no hard limit on columns. When you have more columns than can fit on screen,
the plugin automatically enables a smooth slider for navigation. We recommend 3-
4 columns for optimal user experience.

### Does it work with page builders?

Yes! Costly Pricing Tables is compatible with all major page builders. Simply paste
the shortcode in a text/HTML module or use the shortcode widget included with your
page builder.

### Will it slow down my website?

No! Costly Pricing Tables is performance-optimized with its own database table, 
minimized CSS/JS files, and conditional loading. Assets are only loaded on pages
that actually display pricing tables.

### Is the plugin translation-ready?

Yes! Costly Pricing Tables is fully translation-ready with text domain “costly-pricing-
tables”. All strings are properly escaped and ready for translation using WordPress
standard .po/.mo files or plugins like WPML and Polylang.

### Does the plugin affect SEO?

Costly Pricing Tables is SEO-friendly with semantic HTML markup, proper heading 
structure, and fast loading times. All text content is crawlable by search engines,
and the plugin supports structured data.

### What happens if I deactivate the plugin?

Your table data remains safely stored in the database. Shortcodes will simply not
display until you reactivate the plugin. Only uninstalling (deleting) the plugin
will permanently remove data.

### Can I track button clicks?

Yes! You can add Google Analytics tracking, Facebook Pixel, or other analytics code
to your button URLs. The plugin supports standard tracking parameters and works 
with Google Tag Manager.
