## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: What should I do if the Media Listing block doesn't display my images?**
A: If the Media Listing block isn't showing your images, ensure that the block is installed and activated as part of the Nexter Blocks. Additionally, check that you've selected the correct images from the Type section and configured the layout properly. Sometimes, missing images can be due to incorrect settings in the Content tab.

**Q: What is the best way to categorize images in my gallery?**
A: The best practice for categorizing images in your gallery is to manually create categories in the Category field of the Media Listing block. You can add multiple categories separated by commas, which allows for better organization and filtering options in your gallery.

**Q: What happens if I forget to add a title or caption to my images?**
A: If you forget to add a title or caption to your images, those fields will simply be left blank in the gallery. While the images will still display, adding titles and captions enhances user engagement and provides context, making your gallery more informative.
