# Lisfinity Category Types

This option allows you to display Category Types that you created through **Fields Builder** anywhere on the site. If you're unsure how to create a different category then please head to [Fields Builder](../fields-builder) section.

When you're done with setting up the shortcode the result will look similar to the screenshot below.

Let's go over each available option for the category types shortcode.

### Category Types Feed

**Template** - You can choose how the taxonomies will be displayed between **Carousel** and **Grid.**

**Category Types** - In this select, you can choose the specific category types that you wish to include in the display.

**Category Taxonomies** - This set of taxonomies for each available category type allows you to choose just the single taxonomy from which the terms would be displayed as a list of tags below the category name. So if, for example, for the **Car** category you choose to display only **Makes** taxonomies it would display **Alfa Romeo, BMW**, **Citroen, etc**. instead of a list of available taxonomies.&#x20;

### Category Types Style

**Images Overlay** - With this option you can set up the desired overlay that will be displayed across the boxes in order to beautify them and match the overall look and feel of the site.
