Logo Rescue

by Plugin Lifeboat

Submitted — awaiting review

Keep displaying WP Logo Showcase content without rewriting it.

Logo Rescue 1.0.0 is a read-only compatibility layer for legacy WP Logo Showcase records and the existing [logoshowcase] shortcode. It reads your original content in place without copying, rewriting, or deleting it.

The reason

Why Logo Rescue?

WP Logo Showcase Responsive Slider and Carousel was removed from the WordPress.org Plugin Directory. Existing sites can still contain logo records, media, links, categories, and shortcodes created with it.

Logo Rescue keeps that original content in place and provides a focused compatibility layer for displaying it.

Read-only by design

Keep what you've already built.

Logo Rescue reads the legacy Free-plugin data model directly. It does not create replacement copies or alter the original records.

  • Logo records

    Reads existing legacy logo records in place.

  • Featured images

    Uses the media already assigned to legacy logo records.

  • Destination links

    Uses supported stored links and safely ignores rejected URL types.

  • Categories

    Keeps the existing category relationships and filters.

  • Shortcode content

    Supports existing [logoshowcase] shortcode content and common display attributes.

  • Diagnostics

    Reports content that may need review without modifying it.

Logo Rescue 1.0.0

Real read-only diagnostics

The rescue dashboard reports what Logo Rescue found, what it can display, and which items may deserve attention. It does not edit the legacy records.

A focused rescue tool

Is Logo Rescue for you?

Potentially a good fit

  • You still have WP Logo Showcase installed.
  • You previously used it and its data remains in WordPress.
  • Existing pages still contain its shortcode.
  • You do not want to manually recreate logo collections.

Not necessarily a fit

  • You are starting a brand-new logo carousel.
  • You need a full marketing or design carousel suite.
  • You depend heavily on undocumented Pro-only functionality.
