Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Genesis Featured Page Advanced is nearing the end of its life. The plugin was built to solve a problem that will soon no longer exist. The advent of block themes utilizing the Site Editor has made traditional widgets irrelevant.

Critical support will still be provided in the support forum, but the plugin is no longer being actively developed.

An advanced version of the Genesis – Featured Page widget, this plugin allows you to add a custom image, custom content, page excerpt, and more.

Genesis Featured Page Advanced is only for Genesis Framework users. Genesis is a premium product of StudioPress, which has no affiliation with this plugin.
