स्थापना

  1. Upload the select-featured-posts folder to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
  2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
  3. Go to the Posts -> Posts screen if you have wordpress 3.0 and for older versions go to Posts -> Edit.
  4. Check and uncheck posts to make it featured/unfeatured
  5. To use it in theme add this before query_posts or get_posts

    if (function_exists(‘featured_posts’)) {
    featured_posts(‘add’);
    }

    If query_posts or get_posts is not there in your theme then you can add above code and query_posts before while loop
    For eg.

  if (function_exists('featured_posts')) {
    featured_posts('add');
  }
  query_posts('posts_per_page=10');
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
    //Your Code
  endwhile; // end of the loop.
  if (function_exists('featured_posts')) {
    featured_posts('remove');
  }
  
  1. To remove the featured post from the query post buffer once the same have been displayed add this code

    if (function_exists(‘featured_posts’)) {
    featured_posts(‘remove’);
    }

For eg.

  if (function_exists('featured_posts')) {
      featured_posts('add');
    }
    query_posts('category_name=Entertainment');
    // Hence now that the featured posts have been displayed clear them so that they don't get repeated.
    if (function_exists('featured_posts')) {
      featured_posts('remove');
    }

So it will give featured post of Entertainment Category.

OR

  1. If you want to get Featured post IDs only then use this

    if (function_exists(‘get_featured_posts’)) {
    $limit = 5;
    $featured_posts = get_featured_posts($limit);
    }

  2. If your theme supports widgets then go to Appearance -> Widgets and just Drag and Drop Select Featured Post Widget.

  3. In widget you can specify total no of posts or Featured Post of a Category.
