  Hello, the Featured Content option doesn’t work for me on the Gateway Theme. Is there a way to fix it?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, Are you using Gateway’s special front page template? You can find set up information on the theme’s showcase page https://wordpress.com/theme/gateway

  I just tried it and it worked with the special front page template. I guess I assumed the Featured Content would work like it does in the other themes, so thank you for the tip. But what if I want it to show up on my blog page. Is there any way to make that happen?

  Hi again, no. The special front page template is exactly that. It can’t be used on the blog page.

  You could highlight featured posts in other ways, like in your sidebar using a Custom Menu in a Navigation Menu Widget. I wouldn’t recommend making those posts “sticky” because that can be an issue with both site visitors and search engines.

  If I think of something else, I’ll post back here.
