Quick Tip : How to Sticky Your Best Article in Feature Post Area

Feature area in a theme serves a place to put the best article, breaking news or important notice for the readers. With the specific feature posts at the top of your home page, you will grow your blog. As you can see most online magazines and many high profile blogs have a featured post section  that either showcases one primary post or rotates through several posts.

How To?

WordPress is amazing, they have provided the option to sticky your best article, or a break news in the feature area. You can do so only with 3 easy steps :

Step 1 – On your wordpress admin page and go to Posts > Edit

Step 2 – Choose one post that you want as feature post then choose Quick Edit

      For example, we use the BlackStone theme.
      - To add a picture, please add a picture in your post, then the first picture in your post will be appear in the feature post area.

      - For all of our theme, the feature area is the latest post from your site. So, each time you create a new post…the new post will be appear in the feature post area.

      We hope this helps…
      btw, we glad you like our theme :)
