## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the Taxonomy Listing block is not displaying my categories?**
A: If the Taxonomy Listing block isn't showing your categories, ensure that you have created some post categories first. This block requires categories to be set up in order to function properly. If categories are present and it's still not displaying, check that the Nexter Blocks plugin is installed and activated, as it is essential for using this feature.

**Q: What layout options are available when using the Taxonomy Listing block?**
A: When using the Taxonomy Listing block, you can choose from various styles in the Style section and select 'Grid' from the Layout section. This allows you to customize how your categories are presented, making it easier for visitors to find specific content on your site. Experimenting with different styles can help you achieve the best visual appeal.

**Q: What happens if I forget to select a taxonomy in the Taxonomy Listing block?**
A: If you forget to select a taxonomy in the Taxonomy Listing block, the grid will not display any categories or tags. It's crucial to select either 'Categories' or 'Tags' from the dropdown menu to ensure the block functions correctly. This step is essential for showcasing your content effectively.

**Q: Are there any performance considerations when using the Taxonomy Listing block?**
A: Using the Taxonomy Listing block is efficient as it loads only 1 CSS and 1 JS file per page, which minimizes performance impact. However, ensure that your categories are well-organized to avoid clutter, as a large number of categories displayed in a grid can overwhelm users and slow down navigation.
