= New: Native Gutenberg Block =

* **Native Gutenberg Block:** You can now insert, preview, and switch your logo showcases directly within the Block Editor! No more remembering shortcode IDs.
* **Unlimited logo display is now free.** The front-end 20-logo cap is permanently removed. Every logo you upload is shown, in full, at no cost.
* **Preloader is now free.** The showcase stays hidden until images fully load — no more layout flicker on first visit.

Already on Logo Slider WP? Update now — your existing showcases and shortcodes are untouched and fully supported alongside the new Gutenberg Block.

= Showcase types =

**Carousel**
Touch-enabled slider with autoplay, infinite loop, swipe, arrows, and pagination. Enable **Ticker mode** for continuous non-stop scrolling — great for sponsor strips and press logo rows.

**Grid**
Static responsive grid with independent column control across four breakpoints. Every logo is visible at once — no scrolling needed.

**Flexbox**
CSS flexbox layout where logos wrap naturally based on their width. No rigid columns, no awkward gaps — ideal for mixed-size or mixed-aspect brand marks.

Each type has its own settings tab. Every showcase is fully independent — mix types across different pages.

= Perfect for =

* Client logo showcases and "Trusted By" sections
* Partner brand and affiliate logo galleries
* Sponsor logo sliders for events and organisations
* "Featured In" press and media logo strips
* Agency portfolios displaying client brands
* SaaS and startup social proof sections
