The featured content helps to featuring other media than the default featured image from WordPress on a regular post or static page. For example sliders, carousels, videos, maps or any kind of interactive elements. The plugin adds a metabox in the edit page for saving an embedded code. Note that a small coding is required to display the featured content in the right location of your template. You can display the featured content 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.
<h4>Functions</h4>
<ul>
<li><code>the_featured_content()</code> takes the current post or page ID and outputs the featured content.</li>

Haven’t you ever wondered what the world would be like if GeoCities worked on your phone? Glitter Bomb brings interactive cursor effects and confetti-style particle fields to WordPress — with touch support that actually works. See it in action at <a href="https://klatespencer.com/glitter-bomb/" rel="nofollow ugc">klatespencer.com/glitter-bomb</a>.
<a href="https://klatespencer.com/rainbow-sprinkle/" rel="nofollow ugc">✨ Sprinkle Trail Mode</a> 
Particles follow your cursor on desktop and your finger on mobile with smooth gesture tracking. Choose between compact trails or scattered drifting patterns.
<a href="https://klatespencer.com/particle-field/" rel="nofollow ugc">💫 Particle Field Mode</a> 
Your entire page becomes a canvas of shimmering glitter. Particles drift, attract to your cursor or touch, and explode into sparkles on click or tap.
Honest assessment: No site needs this. It adds JavaScript, it competes with your content, and enabling it by default on a checkout page would be irresponsible. On a hero section, birthday page, portfolio, or anywhere a little extra is exactly right? Absolutely your call.
Features:
<ul>
<li>Touch-optimized from the start — particle trails follow your finger, tap triggers explosions, separate sizing controls for mobile vs. desktop, and an option to disable on mobile entirely</li>
<li>WCAG 2.2 AA compliant — keyboard navigation, screen reader support, <code>prefers-reduced-motion</code> respect</li>
<li>Six color palettes (Rainbow, Metallic, Neutral Spectrum, Warm Sunset, Cool Ocean, Custom)</li>
<li>Customizable toggle button: position, text, and gradient colors</li>
<li>No external dependencies, no tracking, no data collection</li>
<li>Performance optimizations: object pooling, particle culling, canvas scaling, RAF animation</li>
</ul>
Built with <a href="https://telex.im" rel="nofollow ugc">Telex</a> and <a href="https://claude.ai/code" rel="nofollow ugc">Claude Code</a>. More details at <a href="https://klatespencer.com/glitter-bomb/" rel="nofollow ugc">klatespencer.com/glitter-bomb</a>.
