| Feb 2, 2017 at 19:25 | comment | added | olliew | Thanks Abdul. I have changed my code so that the values match. The class is being applied to absolutely all of my posts, even those where I haven't ticked the box for them to become featured | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 18:54 | comment | added | Anwer AR | i see. now this is the good approach. a minor note about meta field. you've added meta field named "meta-box-checkbox" and in my example function i have used a meta field named "featured_post". so these two values should match. i am modifying original source from your question | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 17:30 | comment | added | olliew | I've tried this approach and added the code to my original question. At the moment all my posts have a class of featured_post, possibly left over from my previous use of the category method, even though I've now deleted that category! This is my first attempt at using Wordpress hooks, meta-boxes, etc | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 14:28 | comment | added | Anwer AR | The category method has no problem at all if you are working on a specific project. but if you are planning to release your theme commercially or in wp theme directory then probably the category method is not a good idea. because you will have large number of users using your theme and wp category is designed used for categorizing posts. so respect the wp standards & let it work on its way and create another method to make featured posts. I've mentioned about meta fields in my answer and this is the appropriate method. | |
| Feb 2, 2017 at 13:21 | comment | added | olliew | Hi Abdul. The category method from codee.io above does work. What makes you say using categories is a bad thing? Don't sticky post stick to the top? I want featured posts that are interspersed with the rest of the content. | |
