A team page is one of the few pages people read before deciding whether to trust you, and it lives or dies on looking current and consistent.
The Team Member block keeps every person in one list — photo, name, role and social links — and lays them out without hand-built columns.
Before You Start
- Edition: Freemium — the member list itself and the Grid layout work in the free Nexter Blocks. Masonry, Carousel, Style 2 and the category filter need Nexter Blocks Pro.
- Block to enable: Team Member, switched on under Nexter > Blocks in your WordPress dashboard.
Video Tutorial
Steps
- Add the Team Member block to your page.
- Add a member for each person and fill in their name, role and photo.
- Add each person’s social and contact links.
- Choose a Layout — Grid works on the free plugin; Masonry and Carousel need Pro.
- Pick a Style and adjust the columns for each screen size.
How It Behaves
This block is freemium. The split below was measured by publishing the same listing twice — once with Nexter Blocks Pro active, then again with Pro switched off:
| Feature | Free | Needs Pro |
|---|---|---|
| The member list itself — photos, names, roles, social links | Yes | — |
| Grid layout | Yes — measured rendering identically on both | — |
| Masonry layout | No — falls back to a plain grid | Yes |
| Carousel layout | No — renders as a static list, no slider | Yes |
| Style 2 | No — the cards render empty | Yes |
| Category filter | No — no filter bar at all | Yes |
- Each member is one row in the list, so reordering the team does not mean rebuilding the layout.
- Categories are set on each member, in that member’s own Category field, as a comma-separated list. The block-level fields only set the labels on the filter bar. See the category filter doc.
- Columns are set per screen size, so a four-across desktop grid can drop to two on tablet.
Limitations
- Style 2 renders empty without Pro. Measured with Pro switched off: the cards appear but contain no photo and no name. Stay on Style 1 on a free site.
- Masonry and Carousel silently fall back rather than warning you — measured, the members still render but as an ordinary grid.
- The category filter does not appear on the Carousel layout. Measured: with the filter switched on and the layout set to Carousel, no filter bar rendered at all, while the same settings on Grid produced it. Use Grid or Masonry if you need filtering.
- The block lists people you enter by hand; it does not pull members from posts or users.
Troubleshooting
My cards are empty after choosing Style 2
Style 2 needs Nexter Blocks Pro. Measured with Pro off: the card wrappers render with no photo and no name inside them. Switch back to Style 1.
My carousel is not sliding
The Carousel layout needs Pro. Measured without it, the members render as a plain static list with no slider markup at all.
Masonry looks exactly like grid
That is the free fallback — measured, the masonry layout needs Pro and otherwise renders as an ordinary grid.
My filter bar is missing
Two reasons, both measured: the filter needs Pro, and it is not rendered at all on the Carousel layout. Use Grid or Masonry.
