Build Status

Latest Release: 3.0.3

Post Type Spotlight

Easily allows you to designate posts, pages, attachments and custom post types as featured.

Description

The plugin displays a toggle within the publish area to feature a post. The toggle only appears on admin selected post types which can be selected in the Settings -> Writing screen.

When a post is designated as featured:

  • It receives featured and featured-{$posttype} classes via the post_class filter.

  • Shows featured ⭐️ in the post type's admin post list screen.

  • Assigns the post a hidden taxonomy term (featured) that can easily be queried via the pts_feature_tax taxonomy.

  • Note: For the plugin to work on attachments, you must be using 3.5 or above. All other features will work on 3.1.0 and up.*
