CodeFlavors Featured Post allows you to feature any WordPress post type into posts and pages by using the shortcode implemented by the plugin. Besides the featured posts shortcode, the plugin implements a widget that does the exact same thing.
You can use this plugin to display any post type, be it image, regular post, page, WooCommerce product or whatever else.
To display featured posts into the front-end the plugin uses the templates it implements (by default, only 2 are available Fancy and Default) and also offers the possibility to create custom templates that can be used to display the featured posts.
