Quick Start Guide ​

From a fresh install to logos on a live page in about five minutes.

Once Logo Carousel is installed, getting your first logo showcase live takes two moves: pick how you want to build it, then follow that path's guide. This page points you in the right direction.

Haven't installed it yet?

Start with Installation & Activation. It covers installing the plugin, the setup wizard, and (for Pro) activating your license. Then come back here.

Before you begin ​

Three things worth having ready. None takes long, and each saves backtracking later:

  • [ ] The plugin is active. On Pro, the license is active too — check Logo Carousel → Settings. Without it, blocks don't show for visitors.
  • [ ] Your logo files are handy. PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP, or SVG, either already in the Media Library or on your computer.
  • [ ] A page to build on. A draft is fine; you'll preview as you go.

Name your logo files sensibly

When you add a logo, the plugin uses the image's title as the logo's name, and if there's no title it builds one from the file name. acme-corp.svg becomes "Acme Corp". Good names now mean fewer edits later — and better alt text for screen readers.

Step 1: Pick how you'll build ​

There are two ways to put logos on a page. New here? Go with Blocks.

RecommendedBuild with BlocksInsert a Carousel, Grid, List, Marquee, or Table block right in the WordPress editor, add your logos, and style it with a live preview. Nothing to copy or paste.See the Blocks Overview →Classic views & shortcodesAdd logos under All Logos, set up a view in Manage Views, then paste its [logocarousel id="…"] shortcode wherever you need it.See the Classic Version →

Three ways to start a block

When you insert a block, it asks how you'd like to begin:

  • Use a Pattern opens the Ready Patterns library and drops in a finished design with demo logos you then swap for your own.
  • Build with AI turns a sentence like "a slow marquee of client logos in grayscale" into a configured block. See the AI Builder.
  • Start Blank takes you straight to adding your own logos.

All three leave you with a normal block you can keep editing. The same three buttons are on the Logo Carousel → Getting Started screen, which opens a new page for you.

Step 2: Make the plugin yours ​

Once your first showcase is live, spend a few minutes in the plugin's own admin area. The Logo Carousel dashboard is where you switch blocks and modules on or off, connect page builders, manage saved templates, and change plugin-wide settings, so the plugin only carries what you actually use.

What "done" looks like ​

Whichever path you took, you should end up with:

  1. Logos visible on the published page, not just in the editor.
  2. Logos that are yours — no demo images left over from a pattern.
  3. A layout that still works when you shrink the browser to phone width.

If the third one fails, the usual fix is fewer Columns on Tablet and Mobile in the block's Layouts panel. Every responsive setting has a Desktop / Tablet / Mobile switch.

Always check the published page

The editor preview and the live page load things differently. Open the real page in a private window before you call it finished. If the block is missing for visitors on Pro, check the license first; if it's there but not moving, see Troubleshooting.
