Logo Carousel Pro ​

Upcoming release ​

Version number

This release is in development. Its version number will be assigned when it ships, and this section will be updated then.

The biggest update in the plugin's history: Logo Carousel moves into the block editor, with a new dashboard to manage it. Your existing logos, views and shortcodes keep working unchanged.

New: five logo blocks

  • Carousel with Standard, Center, Staggered and Multi Columns styles, vertical carousels, partial slide view, variable width, edge fade, slide-to-scroll and seven sliding effects, plus fully styleable navigation arrows and pagination dots.
  • Grid with Standard, Strip, Staggered and Zigzag styles.
  • List with left, center and right layouts.
  • Marquee with Standard, Wave and Ribbon styles.
  • Table with a customizable header row.
  • Switch any block to another with Transform to, keeping your logos and shared settings.
  • Add logos straight from the Media Library, with drag-and-drop ordering, per-logo title, alt text, link, description and categories, duplicate-upload detection and safe SVG uploads for administrators.

New: features for every block

  • Ajax Live Filter and Ajax Search.
  • Pagination for Grid, List and Table: a Load More button or numbered pages.
  • Display Elements (title, description, Read More), Tooltips and a Logo Details popup with previous/next navigation.
  • 40+ hover animations, custom colors, image filters, overlays and glassmorphism backgrounds.
  • Motion Effects: entrance animations, scroll parallax and sticky positioning.
  • Scheduling by start and end date and time.
  • Per-device visibility, section background and spacing, and your own CSS class and ID.
  • Lazy loading and performance guardrails for large logo collections.

New: ways to build faster

  • Ready Patterns Library: browse, preview and insert ready-made designs, and save favorites.
  • Build with AI: describe a showcase and get a configured block, then use Refine with AI to adjust it. Bring your own key for Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenAI or Groq, or connect a provider through WordPress, with automatic fallback to a backup provider.
  • Saved Templates: design once and reuse anywhere with [lc_template id="…"].

New: page-builder integrations

New: dashboard

  • A new Logo Carousel dashboard with a setup wizard, a Logo Showcase Placements list of everywhere your showcases appear, and on/off switches for blocks and modules.
  • Analytics dashboard with views, clicks, unique viewers and click rate, period comparisons, a views-vs-clicks chart, per-logo trends and CSV export. Tracking covers both blocks and classic shortcodes.
  • Settings rebuilt in the dashboard: License Key, Integrations, AI Configuration, Advanced, Control Assets, Import & Export, and Additional CSS & JS. Old settings and analytics pages redirect to it.

Improved

  • A clearer license screen showing your plan, expiry date and activated sites, with a one-click refresh.
  • Optional, consent-based diagnostic data sharing to help improve the plugin.

Note

  • Without an active license, blocks show only in the editor, not on the live site. An expired license keeps everything working. See Installation.
