Steph Jensen Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 I'm trying to make a blog post feed, with posts that are selected/featured, to be listed on the front page of the site. Do you have any tips to let admin or moderators specify what blog posts get featured on the front page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel R Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Are you looking to ... Manually select? Auto select? If you're looking to manually select, then you can choose whatever personal criteria you want. I personally like to choose ones that have a lot of reactions or comments, because it means the rest of the community has already signaled that its a popular post. I also pick blog entries with especially informative from my superusers, who I know post high quality content. If you auto select, the only standard filters are Pinned / Featured / Hidden or X number of comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Jensen Posted June 18, 2019 Author Share Posted June 18, 2019 Thanks @Joel R I'm looking for a way to actually pick them. How do I add the posts that I want in the feed to that feed? I could add a tag and only list blog posts that have that tag but then anybody could use it and gave their posts featured on the front page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meddysong Posted June 18, 2019 Share Posted June 18, 2019 Feature them and then only show featured entries in the feed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't use the promoted content feature because the superblock widget that I want to use can't feed off that. So I need a blog post feed with only featured posts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
