Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work with any theme?
Yes. Simply Logo Slider has zero theme dependencies and works on any WordPress theme.
How do I reorder logos?
Use the menu order field on each logo post, or install a drag-and-drop order plugin. Logos are displayed in ascending menu order.
Can logos link to external sites?
Yes — add a URL in the Logo Link meta box when editing a logo. Links open in a new tab.
Why isn't it scrolling?
The slider only animates when the total logo width exceeds the container width. If you have only a few logos, it stays static to avoid awkward looping. Add more logos or increase the height/gap to trigger the animation.
