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.
