Adding Posts to Featured Areas on Front Page

Hi,
This is not an available option in the theme as of now.
Cheers,

Thanks @nikeo. I’ve set up a work around at the moment that does the trick but would love to see this feature in a future update.

Cool. I will think about this option for future release.

It think your work around could be interesting for other users in this forum if you want to share it!

I am also using this theme in my site https://www.cafekavita.com please add a feature to add external or any link in the slider. Also please do not limit it to past 100 posts. Thank you for the great theme.

I will think about that Kumar!
Nice website by the way

@nikeo I was looking for the Most Recent post always to be Featured so I am using the Post to Page plugin as a work around – not ideal but it will do.

@ imkamalkumar nice site you got dere pls i need your help with the dimension of the image slider….and also how you got image into the feature page. Looking forward to your reply sir.

Hi gang, great theme by the way. There is a way to solve this problem. The theme looks for a page (not a post or a category page) for the 3 “hero” spots on the home page.

So let’s make a page that redirects to a category page or post!

There are many ways to do this but the simplest I have found is to install the plugin called Page Links To

https://txfx.net/wordpress-plugins/page-links-to/

Using this plugin you can set a redirect option for a page which simply takes you to another page. This can be in your website or a different site.

So
1. Install and activate the plugin Page Links To
2. Make a page
3. Set the redirect option to an external page which includes the path to your post or category (say /category/mycategory). If you leave the https://www.mysite.com/ part off you can move domain names without having to worry about hard coding the domain name into the redirect.
4. Publish the page
5. Test the redirect to make sure it works as you intended it by visiting the page you created in 2
6. Configure customizr and set one of the 3 hero spots to your page you tested in 5.
7. Voila! You can now point to a post or category page because your page, redirected, takes you there.

Not a bad solution, but ideally the hero spots should allow categories and/or posts. And even better they should support the latest post say from a category or tag for the super-duper treatment. We’d pay for a theme like that!
