## Description

### Featured Posts Pro

a featured posts very easily. Posts, pages & custom posts can be set as featured
posts using a checkbox on the posts list page or on the edit page of the post. Please

the default recent posts widget except this widget displays recent featured posts
instead. The template for the **Featured Posts Pro Widget** can be customized with
your theme.

### How to use in the theme

You can to get the featured posts, you need to make a custom query as follows

### sample code to get the featured posts with orders

`$args = array(
 ‘post_type’ => ‘any’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 10, ‘no_found_rows’ =
> true, ‘post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true, ‘meta_query’ 
=> array( array( ‘relation’ => ‘OR’, array( ‘key’ => ‘post_featured_position’, ‘
compare’ => ‘EXISTS’ ), array( ‘key’ => ‘post_featured_position’, ‘compare’ => ‘
NOT EXISTS’ ), ), array( ‘relation’ => ‘AND’, ‘key’ => ‘is_post_featured’, ‘compare’
=> ‘=’, ‘value’ => 1 ) ), ‘orderby’ => ‘meta_value_num’, ‘order’ => ‘ASC’, ) ;

$featuredPosts = new WP_Query( $args );`<h3>sample code to get the featured posts
without order</h3>`$args = array(
 ‘posts_per_page’ => 10, ‘no_found_rows’ => true,‘
post_status’ => ‘publish’, ‘ignore_sticky_posts’ => true, ‘meta_key’ => ‘is_post_featured’//
this is the meta key used for the featured posts ) ;

$featuredPosts = new WP_Query( $args );`

or if you simple want tp

### How to customize the widget

 1. create a folder ‘featured_posts_pro_tpls’
inside your theme folder 2. create two php files named as ‘tpl_featured_posts_pro_large.
php’ & ‘tpl_featured_posts_pro_small.php’ in the ‘featured_posts_pro_tpls’ folder
you just created 3. template file ‘tpl_featured_posts_pro_large.php’ will be used
to render the widget when widget size is selected as large & similarly ‘tpl_featured_posts_pro_small.
