Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Drop Shadow Boxes

Yes, look for the drop shadow box block in the list of available blocks.
No, not at this time.
A true responsive design ought to be handled more at the page level but you'll probably find what you're looking for if you change the width attribute to "auto".
It will work on the latest versions of all browsers. Some older browsers may not display the shadows - but they will display the box with the content. Please see the following page for examples to see how it performs on your browser: http://www.stevenhenty.com/products/wordpress-plugins/drop-shadow-boxes/examples/
While you're editing a post or page you can open the shortcode builder by clicking on the box icon next to the upload media button above the toolbar.
Once you've added the shortcode to the page/post you can edit the contents just like any other content.
Try experimenting with the alignment of the boxes. To get a few boxes lined up in a row you'll probably need to align all the boxes left.
Yes, you'll just need to set the effect_shadow_color shortcode attribute to "white".
The shortcode offers quite a few options. If you need further customisation you'll need to override the css classes in your theme (usually style.css).
The css file will only be loaded when it's needed - when there's a [dropshadowbox] shortcode on the page or post.
