Description

First of all, thank you for creating and maintaining the excellent Shapely theme, and for the continuous updates — the improvements in version 1.2.17 are much appreciated!

I would like to request a feature enhancement for the Client Section.

Currently, the Client Section uses FlexSlider’s basic carousel to scroll through the client logos. However, when the carousel reaches the last item, it scrolls all the way back to the first item, creating an abrupt and less polished transition — especially noticeable when there are many client logos.

It would greatly enhance the user experience if the carousel could support infinite looping. That is, after the last item, the first item would immediately follow on the right, allowing for a seamless, continuous scroll.

I understand that implementing true infinite looping may require modifications to the FlexSlider source code and might not be trivial. However, I believe this enhancement would significantly improve the overall visual quality and professionalism of sites using Shapely.

Thank you for considering this feature request!

Research direction

Start by locating the Client Section and its FlexSlider initialization in the Shapely theme, then review how the current carousel handles the final logo. Implement seamless continuation from the last logo to the first and verify the behavior with multiple client logos, including the transition shown in the linked video.
