Show "featured" post in "recent" posts at the same time

Hi Jens, Untitled uses Jetpack’s Featured Content module to exclude posts from the main blog stream if they’ve been tagged as featured content.

To override that, you’ll need to create a child theme and add a special function to it.

Making a child theme means your changes won’t be overwritten when you update the theme. If you’re new to child themes, you can explore these guides:

Next, create a plain-text file, name it functions.php, and place it in your child theme folder.

Now put this function between opening and closing PHP tags:

<?php

function jeherve_add_featured_content_to_blog() {
    remove_action( 'pre_get_posts', array( 'Featured_Content', 'pre_get_posts' ) );
}
add_action( 'init', 'jeherve_add_featured_content_to_blog', 31 ); // Immediately after FC hooks in

?>

That function is from one of the Jetpack support-team members, Jeremy Herve, and you can see the original here:

I tested it on my end and it’s working for me.

Let me know how it goes!

Great, glad that did the trick!

Hi!

This was helpful. I managed to show my featured posts in the recent posts section below the rotating header, but now my text (date, title, etc.) now appears below the thumbnail. I have no idea how to correct. Can you help?

Thanks!
