Header and Footer Sponsor Display
The Sponsors module can automatically inject sponsor logos into your site's header and footer areas without requiring shortcode placement. Both sections are configured under SportsPress → Settings → Sponsors.
This feature is part of SportsPress Pro.
Enabling or Disabling Each Section
Header — The header sponsor area is active when Display (option ID:
sportspress_header_sponsors_limit) is set to a value greater than0. Set it to0to disable the header sponsors entirely.Footer — The footer sponsor area is active when Display (option ID:

Both sections default to showing sponsors (header default: 3, footer default: 20).

How the Display Works
Both sections internally call the [sponsors] shortcode with the configured limit, dimensions, sort options, and title. The header and footer displays respect the same level filtering as the shortcode if you pass a level ID through the shortcode, but the automatic header/footer display does not filter by level — it shows sponsors from all levels.
