Quickly and easily mark any content that has an editing UI in the WordPress administrative section as featured. This plugin\nalso provides a template tag that you can use to display certain markup or styles for featured content and a query\nvariable that allows you to query for featured (or non-featured) content.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload featured-content<\/code> to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/<\/code> directory<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress<\/li>\n
  3. Indicate featured content through the row actions on the content management screen or the meta box in the content editing screen<\/li>\n
  4. Use the query variable is_featured<\/code> in your queries or the template tag featured_content_is_featured_content<\/code> in your templates<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n
    \n
    How do I make a post type featurable?<\/dt>\n

    By default, the plugin only allows posts and pages to be featured. However, if you have a custom post type, you can easily add featured content support by modifying the following snippet:<\/p>\n\n

    function register_featured_content_support() {\n    \/\/ Adds featured content support to the custom post type 'my-post-type-slug'\n    add_post_type_support('my-post-type-slug', 'featured-content');\n\n    \/\/ Removes featured content support from pages\n    remove_post_type_support('page', 'featured-content');\n}\nadd_filter('after_setup_theme', 'register_featured_content_support');\n<\/code><\/pre><\/dd>\n
    Why would I want to use this plugin?<\/dt>\n
    If you have content on your site that you want to feature (maybe on the home page or in a sidebar) then you can use this plugin\nto enable marking that content as featured. It works for any post type that provides an editing UI.<\/p><\/dd>\n
    How do I use the query variable?<\/dt>\n
    In your custom queries (new WP_Query<\/code>, get_posts<\/code> or query_posts<\/code>) simply pass in the query variable is_featured<\/code> as follows:<\/p>\n\n
    $featured_posts = new WP_Query(array('is_featured' => 'yes', 'post_type' => 'post'));\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n
    If you need to get only non featured content, you would do something like the following:<\/p>\n\n
    $non_featured_posts = new WP_Query(array('is_featured' => 'no', 'post_type' => 'post'));\n<\/code><\/pre><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
