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

NS Featured Posts

This plugin adds checkboxes for each list item. You can easily check/uncheck the Featured flag. Checking the Featured will set the meta value yes for meta key _is_ns_featured_post.

You can choose which post types you want Featured functionality from plugin settings.

Using in theme

This plugin only sets/unsets the meta key for assigned posts. You need to implement it in your theme to get Featured functionality.

Example:

$query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => '_is_ns_featured_post', 'meta_value' => 'yes' ) );

This will fetch the list of posts that are checked as Featured.
