Descripción
Yet Another Featured Posts Plugin (YAFPP) provides an easy interface to feature posts in your WordPress blog. Simply check the 'featured stars' associated with each post in WordPress' post listing screen to feature or unfeature a post. This info is posted immediately to your WordPress settings using AJAX.
This interface for featuring/unfeaturing posts is a big step up from other featured posts plugins, which make you enter a string of IDs.
Additionally, YAFPP provides a number of output options for WP developers – you can echo out or return an HTML formatted string of featured posts, return an array of featured post data or manipulate WordPress' The_Loop.
Using these display options you can easily display a thumbnail with each featured post, or otherwise modify the list of featured posts according to your setup.
Not a developer? Beginners can also display thumbnails with their featured posts by installing YAPB. YAFPP interfaces nicely with YAPB, and allows you to display YAPB thumbnails along with your normal featured posts output.

. In this example <?php get_featured_posts(); ?>

Output options include:

FAQ
- How do I feature pages?
-
First, in the YAFPP settings page, check the checkbox 'Allow pages to be featured'. Now any pages you feature will show in the list of featured posts.
- How do I separate featured posts & pages?
-
When calling
get_featured_posts()
you can pass in the optionpost_type
to eitherpost
orpage
to specify entries of that type. So to get a list of featured posts only:<?php get_featured_posts( array('post_type' => 'post') ); ?>
Or pull a list of only featured pages:
<?php get_featured_posts( array('post_type' => 'page') ); ?>
- What data is returned when using the `arr` output method?
-
YAFPP returns an array in this format:
<?php array( 'id' => '', // id of the post 'title' => '', // title of the post 'excerpt' => '', // excerpt of the post 'url' => '', // the post permalink 'image' => '', // an array of data for a YAPB image, if it exists 'author' => '', // the post's author ); ?>
- How do I use the `the_loop` output method?
-
When using
the_loop
output method, YAFPP alters the next instance of The_Loop to contain only the featured posts. To call these featured posts, call The_Loop:<?php get_featured_posts(array('method' => 'the_loop')); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); //whatever you want in here endwhile; ?>
It should be noted that the original query is still preserved when using this method. Thus if you want to call the original query for a given page, just call The_Loop a second time:
<?php get_featured_posts(array('method' => 'the_loop')); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); //whatever you want to do with the featured posts endwhile; while (have_posts()) : the_post(); //whatever you want to do with the original loop endwhile; ?>
