Plugin for featured wordpress posts. This is a cool plugin that makes it easier to mark posts as featured posts (not using specific categories) and simple markup to show theme from your theme file.<\/p>\n\n

Add <?php query_posts($query_string.\"&featured=yes\"); ?><\/code> before the post loop starts and manage the featured posts from the post edit list.<\/p>\n\n

Now added widget for listing featured post in sidebar widgets with custom number of post.<\/p>\n\n

Supports Custom Post Type<\/em><\/p>\n\n

    Why was this plugin created?<\/dt>\n

    This plugin was created to for the featured post management. Its easy and any minor wordpress developer or user can use and integrate into his wordpress theme with ease.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    When I use this plugin to show featured post even when i am not adding \"featured=yes\" before the loop?<\/dt>\n

    This is not a common problem, but this occurs when you are have called query_posts(***.\"featured=yes\"); before the normal template loop like in category.php or archive.php or even index.php. So, its a good practice to add a wp_reset_query(); after each custom query you make adding \"featured=yes\". So why not add the wp_reset_query(); after the loop of featured posts.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    What is this plugin exactly?<\/dt>\n

    As mentioned earlier, this is just a simple featured posts management plugin that adds the post meta data as featured=yes for the particular post marked as featured.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does This Support Custom Post Type?<\/dt>\n

    Yes, it does. To display featured post of any Custom Post Type pass the arguement post_type=YOUR_POST_TYPE<\/code> along with featured=yes<\/code>. For example, if I have custom post type \"portfolio\" and I want to show featured posts in post type \"portfolio' (so called featured portfolio), then I would do, query_posts('post_type=portfolio&featured=yes')<\/code> before the have_posts()<\/code> loop.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Does it work with WP_Query() class?<\/dt>\n

    Yes, absolutely, it does. you can pass it as string type arguement like $query=new WP_Query('post_type=portfolio&featured=yes&posts_per_page=1')<\/code> or even in array type arguement like $query=new WP_Query(array('post_type'=>'portfolio','featured'=>'yes'));<\/code> then use how the regular WP_Query is used.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    How Does it work exactly?<\/dt>\n

    This plugin actually hooks over pre_get_posts<\/code> filter and make the WP_Query class to only fetch posts\/entries which are marked featured whenever featured=yes query var is passed as query arguement(Hope that makes sense).<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
