Convert your current theme into a masonry style theme by simply using a shortcode or a widget. You will no longer be tied to a certain theme that implements masonry to get a good looking masonry layout.

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.

Plugin for featured wordpress posts. This is a cool plugin that makes it easier to mark posts as featured posts (not using specific categories) and simple markup to show theme from your theme file.
Add <code><?php query_posts($query_string."&featured=yes"); ?></code> before the post loop starts and manage the featured posts from the post edit list.
Now added widget for listing featured post in sidebar widgets with custom number of post.
Supports Custom Post Type

Featured Post

I love this plugin. It's simple, small and easy to modify. Best of all, it has a simple interface for end-users.

NOTE: You may wish to download the plugin from the GitHub link in the description. This one is at version 3.2.1 but the GitHub one is at version 3.5. Works great on WordPress 4.6.1!
