## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the category-wise filter is not showing up in my team member listing?**
A: If the category-wise filter isn't appearing, ensure that you've added categories to your team members during their setup. Without categories, the filter won't have any options to display. Once categories are added, go to the Filters tab and enable the Category Wise Filter toggle to activate it.

**Q: Can I use the category-wise filter with the carousel layout for team member listings?**
A: The category-wise filter is not available for the Carousel layout in the Team Member Listing widget. If you want to implement a category filter, you need to use a standard layout instead. This limitation is important to consider when designing your team member display.

**Q: What is the best way to style the category filter labels in my team member listing?**
A: To style the category filter labels, you can customize the FilterStyle and FilterHover Style settings. This allows you to choose different styles for normal and hover states, enhancing the visual appeal of your filter options. Proper styling can improve user experience by making the filters more engaging.
