We are happy to announce that you can now set featured posts and showcase them on any page of your site by using a Custom Feed add-on.
Differences between featured posts and pinned posts:
A pinned post is a post which is pinned to the top of your blog feed.
A featured post is a post that can be featured, using Custom Feed, on any page on your site.
In order to make a post a featured post:
Go to your Post Settings and to turn on the "Feature this Post" toggle.
In order to display featured posts on the site:
Head to the Display tab inside your Custom Feed Settings panel, and use the toggle to configure the feed to show only featured posts (you can also decide to show only featured posts from a specific category). Read more about it here.
Enjoy! Please share with us usages :)
Wah! First of all I'd like to say you guys are thinking really smart here with this update. I'd even go as far to say this is the type of forward thinking WIX needs more of;
Question:
If we use the Custom Feed add-on's can we feature a 'Different Featured Post" on each page? furthermore can we have multiple custom feeds one under each other?
Why I'm asking:
I wanted to create a "Post Ad Feature" on my Blog. However because I didn't have a Pinned Slider I couldn't show multiple Pinned / Featured Posts (in-my case my blog is an automotive classifieds so top ads for specific vehicles)
Regardless,
@Maya Ekron Great update, Although I haven't used the blog in about a month now I'm finally going to get my paid subscription back up thanks to this update to test out it's new capabilities with "Featured Posts" I can charge money now for that😜
Hi @Alin Baho,
You can add as many as custom feeds as you want (on the same page or on different pages).
If you want to have different custom feeds featuring different posts, you can just create different categories.
Then you can configure the first custom feed to show featured posts only from category X, the second to show featured posts only from category Y, etc.
Basically this is a workaround for what you are asking for. I guess that you are asking for a widget which will allow you to choose a different post each time.
This is exactly what I need - Thank you for explaining the walk around, i'll be diving into it very shortly. I figured it was possible - Thank you again. Great Job on this released I shared it to the WIX Design Experts group to inform them once again what a GEM this app is! Woo! - Did I say thank you? Thank you.
thanks but is it possible to show the featured post inside each post instead?
Hi,
Thanks for contacting us.
Could you please elaborate what exactly you'd like to do?
Do you want to have a widget of featured posts in every post page?
