# Team Member Listing Widget Settings Overview

## 

- The Plus Addons for Elementor Team Member Listing widget displays team members from a simple repeater list or real WordPress posts in Grid, Masonry, or Carousel layout, with an optional category filter and Load More.
- Select Source switches between Repeater, which lets the user type team members directly into the widget, and Post Type, which pulls from The Plus Addons' built-in Team Member custom post type enabled under Post Type Options.
- Load More appends additional posts on click when Select Source is set to Post Type, and with URL Enable it becomes a shareable link; the pass also confirms Grid, Masonry, and Carousel render without errors.

The **Team Member Listing** widget displays your team either from a simple repeater list or from real WordPress posts, in Grid, Masonry or Carousel layout, with an optional category filter and Load More.

This is a settings overview: what each major control does, plus links to the dedicated guide for each one.

***Requirement - This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, make sure it's installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.***

## Select Source

[Repeater vs Post Type](/docs/create-elementor-team-members-section-with-custom-post-type/) - the repeater lets you type team members directly into the widget; Post Type pulls from The Plus Addons' built-in Team Member custom post type (enabled separately under Post Type Options).

## Layout

Three layouts are available: [Grid](/docs/show-team-members-in-grid-layout-in-elementor/), [Masonry](/docs/show-team-members-in-masonry-grid-layout-in-elementor/) and [Carousel](/docs/show-team-members-in-carousel-slider-in-elementor/).

Masonry packs cards by their actual height instead of a strict row grid:

Carousel turns the same list into a slick-powered slider:

## Category Wise Filter

Adds clickable category buttons above Grid/Masonry (hidden on Carousel). See [Add a Category Wise Filter](/docs/add-category-wise-filter-in-team-member-grid-in-elementor/) for the repeater-based version, and the dedicated AJAX Filter and Shareable URL docs for the Post Type + Pro version.

## More Post Options - Load More

With Select Source set to Post Type, Load More appends additional posts on click instead of showing them all at once; combined with URL Enable it becomes a shareable link. See [Create a Shareable URL with Load More](/docs/create-a-shareable-url-with-load-more-for-team-member-listing-in-elementor/).

## What this pass verified

- Grid, Masonry and Carousel all render without errors, confirmed by inspecting each layout's distinct front-end classes and, for Grid and Carousel, the actual card/slide output.- The repeater-based Category Wise Filter works correctly for logged-out visitors.- Load More (Post Type source) works correctly for logged-out visitors, including the shareable-URL query parameter.- Post Type source correctly pulls and renders real custom-post-type entries once the Team Member post type is enabled.

> *The AJAX Category Filter (and the Shareable URL built on top of it) was found broken for logged-out visitors during this pass - see the dedicated AJAX Filter doc for the root cause. It is called out here because it affects a control on this same widget.*

## Not verified

So you know exactly what has and has not been checked:

- Every style preset (Style 1-4) and every color/typography/spacing control was not checked individually - only the default style was exercised.- Masonry's staggered visual effect specifically (see the Masonry doc's Not verified note).

## Frequently Asked Questions

**Q: Which layout should I use for an elementor team member listing: Grid, Masonry, or Carousel?**
A: Grid is the safest default when you want a clean row-based layout, Masonry fits cards by their actual height, and Carousel turns the same list into a slider. The Plus Addons for Elementor, The Plus Addons, Plus Addons for Elementor, POSIMYTH offers all three in this widget. If your cards vary a lot in height, Masonry avoids awkward gaps; if you want compact browsing, Carousel is the better fit.

**Q: Why is my category filter missing in the team member widget?**
A: Category Wise Filter only shows clickable category buttons above Grid and Masonry, and it is hidden on Carousel. That makes layout choice the first thing to check when the filter seems to disappear. For repeater-based setups, the page points to [Add a Category Wise Filter](/docs/add-category-wise-filter-in-team-member-grid-in-elementor/), while Post Type plus Pro uses the dedicated AJAX Filter and Shareable URL docs.

**Q: Does Load More work with real team member posts or only with repeater items?**
A: Load More is tied to Select Source set to Post Type. In that mode it appends additional posts on click instead of showing everything at once, which is useful when the listing would otherwise get too long. The page also notes that turning on URL Enable makes it a shareable link. For that workflow, see [Create a Shareable URL with Load More](/docs/create-a-shareable-url-with-load-more-for-team-member-listing-in-elementor/).

**Q: What should I check if the team member listing is not rendering correctly?**
A: The page says Grid, Masonry, and Carousel all render without errors when inspected through their distinct front-end classes and output. It also confirms that Post Type source correctly pulls real custom-post-type entries once the Team Member post type is enabled. If something looks off, the most likely split is source selection versus layout selection rather than the widget itself.

**Q: Is this widget enough for logged-out visitors if I need filtering or load more?**
A: For logged-out visitors, the repeater-based Category Wise Filter works correctly, and Load More with Post Type source also works correctly, including the shareable-URL query parameter. The catch is that the AJAX Category Filter and its Shareable URL version were found broken for logged-out visitors during this pass. That makes source choice important if anonymous users need reliable filtering behavior.
