## Description

Plugin for featured wordpress posts. This is a cool plugin that makes it easier

to show theme from your theme file.

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

Now added widget for listing featured post in sidebar widgets with custom number
of post.

## FAQ

  Why was this plugin created?

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.

  When I use this plugin to show featured post even when i am not adding « featured
=yes » before the loop?

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.

  What is this plugin exactly?

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.

  Does This Support Custom Post Type?

Yes, it does. To display featured post of any Custom Post Type pass the arguement`
post_type=YOUR_POST_TYPE` along with `featured=yes`. 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')` before the `have_posts()` loop.

  Does it work with WP_Query() class?

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

  How Does it work exactly?

This plugin actually hooks over `pre_get_posts` 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).

This is not a hate post. The plugin worked fine for a website for many years! Unfortunately
with PHP updates one of the functions has been removed completely as of PHP 8.create_function()
has been removed from PHP as of version 8.

 [Daniel Hendricks](https://profiles.wordpress.org/hendridm/) 30 novembre 2016

I love this plugin. It’s simple, small and easy to modify. Best of all, it has a
simple interface for end-users. NOTE: You may wish to download the plugin from the
GitHub link in the description. This one is at version 3.2.1 but the GitHub one 
is at version 3.5. Works great on WordPress 4.6.1!
