Showing non-featured posts

You shouldn’t use query_posts for multiple queries.

Show featured posts by…

<?php $args = array(
    'featured' => 'yes'
);
$featured = new WP_Query($args);
if($featured->have_posts()): while($featured->have_posts()): $featured->the_post();?>
Featured posts stuff...
<?php endwhile; endif; wp_reset_postdata();?>

Then show regular posts by…

<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
Post content...
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

Thanks, but the thing I want is show all the NON-featured posts, do you know how to do that ? featured => no doesn’t work

Hi Matthieu,

I am newbie in WP but i had the some problem and locked into the plugin code. I have changed pre_get_posts function and worked for me. Hope this can help.

ps. Sovit thanks for your plugin – it’s very intuitive for the End user

function pre_get_posts( $query )
	{
		if ( !is_admin() ) {
			if ( $query->get( 'featured' ) == 'yes' ) {
				$query->set( 'meta_key', 'featured' );
				$query->set( 'meta_value', 'yes' );
			}
			else if ( $query->get( 'featured' ) == 'no' ) {

				$metaquery = array(
					'relation' => 'OR',
					array(
						'key' => 'featured',
						'value' => 'yes',
						'compare' => '!='
					),
					array(
						'key' => 'featured',
						'value' => '',
						'compare' => 'NOT EXISTS'
					)
				);
   				$query->set( 'meta_query', $metaquery );

			}
		}
		return $query;
	}

UPDATE:You should also update the admin_ajax function. Please see below

function admin_ajax( )
	{
		$post_id     = $_POST[ 'post_id' ];
		$is_featured = get_post_meta( $post_id, 'featured', true );
		$newStatus   = $is_featured == 'yes' ? 'no' : 'yes';
		delete_post_meta( $post_id, 'featured' );
		if ($newStatus=="yes")
			add_post_meta( $post_id, 'featured', $newStatus );
		echo ":P";
		die( );
	}
