WooCommerce natively allows you to highlight specific products by marking them as “Featured”. But what happens when a promotion ends or a new product is no longer “new”? You have to remember to uncheck them manually.
Timed featured products for WooCommerce automates this process. This plugin allows you to tell WooCommerce exactly how many days a product should remain featured. Once that time passes, the product will automatically lose its featured status and return to being a normal product in your catalog.
Main Features:
<ul>
<li>Global Settings: Set a default number of days for all your featured products to remain highlighted.</li>
<li>Product-Level Override: Need a specific product to be featured for a longer or shorter time? You can easily override the global settings directly from the product’s General tab.</li>
<li>Automated Expiration: The plugin runs a lightweight daily check to automatically un-feature products that have reached their expiration limit.</li>
<li>Admin Column: Keep track of your catalog easily with a new column in the WooCommerce product list showing the remaining featured days for each item.</li>
<li>Lightweight & Clean: Developed strictly following WordPress and WooCommerce best practices (CRUD methods) to ensure zero impact on your store’s frontend performance.</li>
</ul>

This plugin was initially designed as a theme function but we thought it might come in handy for someone else. It is designed to use the following plugins:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-post-type-ui/" rel="ugc">Custom Post Type UI</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/taxonomy-images/" rel="ugc">Taxonomy Images</a></li>
</ul>
Of course you can create your own custom post types and taxonomies but the Custom Post Type UI plugin makes very light work of it.
The plugin creates a widget for adding featured posts. There are other plugins that do this but Featured Custom Posts allows for custom post types and taxonomies. It was created to show featured products that were created as custom post types.
Features
<ul>
<li>Select number of posts to display (default: 10)</li>
<li>Post Type</li>
<li>Custom Taxonomy</li>
<li>Custom Taxonomy Term</li>
</ul>
New In Version 1.1
<ul>
<li>Added Permalink Base for post URL (Defaults to post’s GUID)</li>
<li>Added Post Title as the link text if Taxonomy Images plugin isn’t present</li>
</ul>
Example Usage
Custom Post Type: “products” 
Taxonomy: “product-tags” 
Taxonomy Term: “featured”
In this example our custom post type of “products” allows us to add products in a similar way to posts. Now with our custom taxonomy of “product-tags” we can tag our products with the tag “featured”. Plug this information into the widget via the wp-admin area and you’re all set!
Future Updates
<ul>
<li>Allow for multiple taxonomy terms</li>
<li>Add thumbnail size support</li>
</ul>
