  Featured content on the twenty fourteen theme isn’t changing when I change which posts are tagged “Featured”.

  For ages I’ve had the same 3 posts tagged as “Featured” and they’ve shown correctly however I now want to show different posts so untagged the original 3 posts and tagged 3 new posts but the original 3 still show.

  I’ve tried refreshing my cache, trying a different browser – it still shows the 3 original posts that were featured, not the 3 new “Featured” posts.

  Any ideas on how to fix this?

  The blog I’m needing help with is http://runningdanw.wordpress,com – the 3 original posts that I no longer want to be featured are:

  Running in the Sun: Top Tips for Holiday Running
  Is your glass of Mo half full or half empty?
  From London 2012 to the Premier League

  The 3 new posts I’ve tagged as featured are:

  Adventures Abound: #Trailburning
  Reading, wRiting & Running: Like The Wind
  Just a Mile: City of London Mile Race Review

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

  Here are a couple of things to try:

  1) make sure you’ve actually typed “featured” into the tag name box on the featured content tab on the customize menu.

  2) make sure the previously featured posts aren’t marked sticky and the to be featured posts are.

  Let me know if that helps. . .

  Thanks – I’ve just realised how stupid I was being: I was marking the new posts with “Feature” in the category rather than the tags. Problem solved, thank you.
