A carousel fits a long list of client logos into one strip and keeps it moving, which is useful when you have more partners than room. The **Clients** widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor has a carousel layout with its own set of slider options. *To check the complete feature overview documentation of The Plus Addons for Elementor Clients Listing widget, [click here](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/clients-listing-widget-settings-overview/).* ***Requirement - This widget is a part of The Plus Addons for Elementor, make sure it's installed & activated to enjoy all its powers.*** [LIVE WIDGET LINK](https://theplusaddons.com/elementor-listing/client-logos/?utm_source=tpae&utm_medium=docs&utm_campaign=text) ## Before You Start - **Edition:** **Pro** — the **Clients** widget is free, but the **Carousel** layout needs **The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro**.- **Widget to enable:** **Clients**, under **The Plus Addons > Widgets**. Elementor shows it in the **Listing** group.- **Prerequisite:** a few client entries to list — either posts in **Tp Clients**, each with a featured image as its logo, or rows in the widget's **Manage Clients** repeater. ## Switch to the carousel layout - Edit the page with Elementor and drag the **Clients** widget onto it.- In **Layout**, click the third picture button — the one with a wide slide between two narrow ones. In the free plugin it is labelled **Carousel (PRO)**.- Leave **Select Source** on **Post Type**, or switch it to **Repeater**. ![The Clients widget panel showing the three Layout buttons, the third one being the carousel](https://theplusaddons.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/clientslisting-source.webp) The logos slide on their own as soon as the page loads: ![Front end showing four client logos side by side in a carousel with navigation dots below](https://theplusaddons.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/clientslisting-result-carousel.webp) ## Tune the slider Open the **Style** tab and expand **Carousel Options**. These are the settings most logo carousels need: | Setting | What it does | Default | | ------- | ------------ | ------- | | **Desktop Columns** | How many logos are visible at once on desktop. | 4 | | **Autoplay** | Slides on its own with no interaction. | Show | | **Autoplay Speed** | How long each set stays before the next one. | empty | | **Slide Speed** | How long the movement itself takes. | empty | | **Infinite Mode** | Wraps around from the last logo back to the first. | Show | | **Show Dots** | The row of dots under the carousel. | Show | | **Show Arrows** | Previous and next arrows. | Hide | | **Pause On Hover** | Stops the autoplay while the pointer is over it. | Hide | | **Draggable** | Lets visitors drag the strip with a mouse or finger. | Show | | **Next Previous** | How many logos each move advances. | 1 | > *Arrows are off by default, so a carousel straight out of the box moves only by itself, by the dots or by dragging. Turn on **Show Arrows** if you want the arrows.* ## How It Behaves - With **Autoplay** left on, the carousel starts moving by itself as soon as the page is loaded — no hover or click needed.- With **Show Arrows** turned on, clicking the next arrow moves the strip along by **Next Previous** logos.- The dots count the sets of logos, not the individual logos.- The **Category Wise Filter** and **More Post Options** sections disappear from the panel while the layout is Carousel — they do not apply to a slider. ## Limitations - The carousel layout needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. With only the free plugin the page prints “Carousel Layout Premium Version.” where the logos would be.- You cannot combine the carousel with the category filter, pagination, **Load More** or lazy loading.- The number of logos in the carousel is still capped by **Maximum Posts Display**. ## Troubleshooting ### The page says Carousel Layout Premium Version The Pro plugin is not active. Either activate it or pick **Grid** or **Masonry**. ### There are no arrows **Show Arrows** in **Style > Carousel Options** is off by default. Turn it on. ### Nothing moves Check **Autoplay** is on, and that you have more clients than **Desktop Columns** — with four visible slots and four clients there is nothing to slide to. ## Related Docs - [How to Show Elementor Client Logos in Grid Layout?](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/show-elementor-client-logos-in-grid-layout/)- [How to Add Logo Showcase in Masonry Grid Layout in Elementor?](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/add-logo-showcase-in-masonry-grid-layout-in-elementor/)- [Clients Listing Widget Settings Overview](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/clients-listing-widget-settings-overview/) ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: What do I need before creating a logo carousel slider in Elementor?** A: The key requirement is the Pro edition, because the Clients widget is free but the Carousel layout needs The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. The widget must also be installed and activated under The Plus Addons > Widgets, where Elementor lists it in the Listing group. For content, you need a few client entries ready, either Tp Clients posts with featured images or rows in the Manage Clients repeater. That matters because a carousel with too few items will not have anything meaningful to slide through. **Q: How do I switch the Clients widget from grid to carousel layout?** A: The carousel starts from the Clients widget’s Layout settings, where the third picture button shows a wide slide between two narrow ones. In the free plugin it is labeled Carousel (PRO), which is a quick clue that this layout depends on The Plus Addons for Elementor Pro. The source can stay on Post Type or be changed to Repeater, so the same slider setup works with either client posts or repeater rows. **Q: What are the best settings for a logo carousel slider?** A: The most useful controls live under Style > Carousel Options. Desktop Columns decides how many logos are visible at once, Autoplay makes the strip move on its own, and Next Previous controls how many logos each move advances. Show Dots and Show Arrows are both off by default in different ways of using the slider, so turning them on changes how visitors navigate. For most logo strips, that combination matters more than fancy design tweaks because it controls pacing and readability. **Q: Why is my logo carousel not moving?** A: Autoplay has to be on for motion to start automatically when the page loads. Another common gotcha is having too few client entries for the Desktop Columns value you picked. The page calls out a case where four visible slots and four clients leave nothing to slide to, so the strip appears stuck even though the widget is working. That means movement depends on both autoplay and having more items than visible columns. **Q: Why are there no arrows on my logo carousel?** A: Show Arrows is off by default in Style > Carousel Options, so arrows will not appear until that setting is enabled. Out of the box, the carousel still moves by autoplay, dots, or dragging, which is why people often think something is broken when it is really just hidden navigation. This default keeps the strip cleaner for logo showcases where arrows can feel unnecessary unless you want explicit previous and next controls. **Q: Can I use filters, pagination, or lazy loading with a logo carousel?** A: The carousel layout does not combine with category filter, pagination, Load More, or lazy loading. That limitation matters because The Plus Addons for Elementor, The Plus Addons, Plus Addons for Elementor, POSIMYTH treats Carousel as a different presentation mode from grid-style listing behavior. The number of logos is still capped by Maximum Posts Display, so if you need more items visible at once or extra loading behavior, this layout is not built for that.
