Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Easy Featured Content

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: function register_featured_content_support() { // Adds featured content support to the custom post type 'my-post-type-slug' add_post_type_support('my-post-type-slug', 'featured-content'); // Removes featured content support from pages remove_post_type_support('page', 'featured-content'); } add_filter('after_setup_theme', 'register_featured_content_support');
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 to enable marking that content as featured. It works for any post type that provides an editing UI.
In your custom queries (new WP_Query, get_posts or query_posts) simply pass in the query variable is_featured as follows: $featured_posts = new WP_Query(array('is_featured' => 'yes', 'post_type' => 'post')); If you need to get only non featured content, you would do something like the following: $non_featured_posts = new WP_Query(array('is_featured' => 'no', 'post_type' => 'post'));
