A plugin for making posts, pages or custom post types featured. User can enable/disable Featured for selected post types.

== Description ==

<h3>NS Featured Posts</h3>This plugin adds checkboxes for each list item. You can easily check /  uncheck the Featured. Checking the Featured will set the meta value **yes** for meta key **_is_ns_featured_post**. From plugin settings, you can choose to which post types you want Featured functionality.

= Using in theme =
This plugin only set / unset the meta key for asigned post. You need to implement it in your theme to get Featured functionality.

Example:


`$query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => '_is_ns_featured_post', 'meta_value' => 'yes' ) );`


This will fetch the list of post which are checked as Featured.
