<p>The featured category is meant to set an introduction category that helps to identify the topic of a post. The plugin adds a metabox in the edit page of a regular post for selecting the featured category. Note that a small coding is required to display the featured category in the right location of your template. You can display the featured category in the desired location of the page with a set of functions that you call from your template. The plugin CMB2 is required for creating metaboxes.</p>
