 * Hi,
 * I’ve created a category called “13U Coaches” (slug 13u-coaches) and I’m using
   the following shortcode to display the coaches on a page:
 * [team-members category=”13U Coaches”]
 * However the page is displaying this:
 * There is no member added yet. Please add members through Management Team on Dashboard
 * I’ve tried using the slug as well as the category ID and nothing seems to work.
   What am I doing wrong?
 * Thanks.

 * Had the same problem.
    Try to remove the space between 13U and Coaches or maybe
   add a _ instead. I think it doesn’t like spaces.

    Thanks for pointing that out. I’ll look into it soon.
