<p>NOTE: <strong>This is an extension for the popular <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-custom-fields/" rel="ugc">Advanced Custom Fields</a> plugin. By itself, this plugin does NOTHING.</strong> ENDNOTE</p>
<p>Generates a nice button/link to an external url or an internal post type, similar to the page_link field but allows you to override the link text and link to any post type or a custom url.</p>
<p>What makes this great is reducing multiple ACF rows into just one (see screenshots for a clear visual walkthrough). The internal link also uses a dropdown which is populated from all your post types so the button can link to a media file or a Custom Post Type, or of course to a page or post.</p>
<p>There are many advanced options as well. This will simply add classes to the button link which line up nicely with Zurb Foundation, but can easily be styled by any theme or developer to make these buttons shine. Options for color, size, style as well allowing the button to open in a new window and add custom classes on the fly.</p>

<h3>NS Featured Posts</h3>
<p>This plugin adds checkboxes for each list item. You can easily check/uncheck the Featured flag. Checking the Featured will set the meta value <strong>yes</strong> for meta key <strong>_is_ns_featured_post</strong>. You can choose which post types you want Featured functionality from plugin settings.</p>
<h4>Using in theme</h4>
<p>This plugin only sets/unsets the meta key for assigned posts. You need to implement it in your theme to get Featured functionality.</p>
<p>Example:</p>
<pre><code>$query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => '_is_ns_featured_post', 'meta_value' => 'yes' ) );
</code></pre>
<p>This will fetch the list of posts that are checked as Featured.</p>
