Post Type Spotlight

v3.1.1 · by Linchpin

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

About this plugin

The plugin displays a checkbox in the publish meta box to feature a post. The checkbox 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 posts as such in the post type’s admin screen
  • Assigns a post a hidden taxonomy term (featured) that can easily be queried.
  • Can be listed with the Featured List block, a variation of the core Query Loop block.

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.
