I am trying to show the featured posts in my theme, with a custom field mytheme_featured_post which is 1 on the featured posts.

However it does not seem to filter the posts down to only the posts in the meta query.

// WP_Query arguments.
$featured = array(
'posts_per_page' => '5',
'meta_query' => array(
    array(
        'key'     => 'mytheme_featured_post',
        'value'   => '1',
    ),
),
);

// The Query.
$featured_query = new WP_Query( $featured );

if ( $featured_query -> have_posts() ) {
    while ( $featured_query -> have_posts() ) : $featured_query -> the_post();
        the_title();
    endwhile;
}

Update: This args are working as intended:

// WP_Query arguments.
$featured = array(
    'posts_per_page' => '5',
    'cat'            => '1',
    'meta_key'       => 'positor_featured_post',
    'meta_value'     => '1',
);

Addon: The code runs from index.php over the main loop.

        get_template_part( 'components/post/grid' );
