Add image carousel in the WordPress theme

Our themes don’t include a carousel widget or shortcode for images or logos, but you can add a carousel with a plugin.

The plugin this article used to recommend, Logo Carousel by Sleepless Developers, is no longer available on WordPress.org. These free plugins are maintained and tested with the current version of WordPress:

  • WP Carousel by ShapedPlugin: image carousels and sliders made from images in your Media Library.
  • Logo Carousel by ShapedPlugin: carousels of client, partner or sponsor logos.

Add a carousel

  1. Go to Plugins › Add Plugin, search for the plugin’s name, then install and activate it.
  2. Create a carousel in the plugin’s menu in your dashboard and add your images or logos.
  3. Copy the shortcode that the plugin creates for your carousel.
  4. Paste the shortcode where you want the carousel: in a page, in a SiteOrigin Editor widget in Page Builder, or in a Text widget in a widget area.

For detailed steps, see the plugin’s page on WordPress.org.
