Tutorial Steps
- Start a New Section:
Navigate to your WordPress dashboard and open the page where you want to add the logo slider. After your hero banner, add a new section. - Insert a Slider:
In the new section, click on ‘Add Element’ and select ‘Nestable Slider’ from the list. This slider allows you to arrange your logos flexibly. - Create Your First Slide:
In the nestable slider, create your first slide. This should include a heading (the name of the company or certification) and an image (the logo). Customize the slide to match your website’s aesthetics. - Duplicate the Slide:
Once you’re satisfied with your first slide, duplicate it for the rest of your logos. Replace the heading and image for each slide accordingly. - Configure the Slider Settings:
In the slider settings, set the slider to loop from left to right. Set the ‘Autoplay Interval’ to zero for a smooth, continuous scroll. Adjust the ‘Visible Slides’ to determine how many logos should be visible at once. - Add Custom CSS:
To ensure a smooth scrolling effect, add the CSS code below to the slider.root :where(.splide__list, .splide__slide){ transition-timing-function: linear !important; }
- Adjust the Slider’s Size:
Depending on your website’s design, you may need to adjust the height of the slider. This can be done in the slider options. - Preview Your Work:
Always preview your changes to ensure everything looks and works as expected. Make any necessary adjustments to the slider text, size, or speed.
