5. Common Issues and Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while using the volunteer opportunity filters, here are a few troubleshooting tips:

• No Results Found:
  • If no opportunities show up after applying your filters, try broadening your search by removing one or more filter criteria (e.g., type of volunteer work or location).
• Location Filter Not Working:
  • Double-check that you’ve entered the correct spelling of your location. If the location is not listed in the drop-down menu, try using a nearby city or broader region.
• Slow Search Results:
  • If the page takes too long to load after applying filters, try clearing your browser cache or refreshing the page. Sometimes, a slow internet connection can cause delays.
