Use this widget to feature prominent articles, or promote actions on the website.

IT’S EASY TO USE. If your theme uses widgets, you can use Feature Me. Just select the post or page you want to feature in any widget area, customize some preferences and save. Done.

posts to display your posts and pages in a prominent location. When you use Feature Me,
you there is no need to code a featured page on your website ever again.

FAQ

Can I upload a custom image for my featured post?

Not at this time. This widget pulls images from the page/post featured image.

No photo shows up even when “Featured Image” is turned on

Make sure that your theme supports featured images. If it doesn’t, add the following code to your themes
functions
.php file:

add_theme_support( 'post-thumbnails' );

If your theme DOES support featured images, check to make sure that the post or page you have chosen has a featured
image attached to it.

Can I customize the CSS of the Feature Me widget?

Yes. The widget uses a css class “feature-me” from which you can target all other elements of the widget and change
the look via css.

You can also use your enter in your own css classes in the “Custom CSS Class” field.

My website uses a CSS framework. Can Feature Me work with different frameworks?

Yes. You can utilize the “Custom CSS Class” field and enter in framework specific classes. For example if you are
using the 960.gs by Nathan Smith, you could enter in “grid_4” or similar. If you use bootstrap,
you could enter “span4” etc.

Can I just display the image and link and not any text?

Yes. Select the custom body option and leave it blank.

How can I change the CTA button color?

To change the button color navigate to the featureme.css stylesheet:
1. Go to the plugins > editor.
2. Choose ‘Feature Me – CTA Widget’ from the plugin dropdown menu and click “select”
3. Click ‘feature-me/featureme.css’ on the right side

The button is defined in 3 areas: .feature-me a.fmBtn, .feature-me a.fmBtn:hover, .feature-me a.fmBtn:visited

Enter your own values or use http://css3buttongenerator.com to generate a button. Replace featureme.css values with
the values you generated.

WARNING If you mess up the values here, you might need to completely re-install
feature-me to get it back. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND copying the styles to your computer before tweaking anything.
