Featured section

Mark selected posts as featured so Eihei can place them in the homepage featured section above the regular feed. You can control how many featured posts are shown and optionally assign internal color tags to create stronger editorial cards for important stories or highlighted series.

1. Open the post you want to add to the featured section.
2. Open the 'Post settings' panel from the icon in the top-right corner.
3. At the bottom of the panel, you'll find a switch labeled 'Feature this post.'
4. Click the switch and close the panel.

1. To change the color of a featured post card, go to the 'Tags' settings in the Ghost Admin.
2. Click 'New tag' and add an internal tag such as #color-ultramarine. Then set its 'Color' value to #002cff.

The name of your tag must start with the word 'color' and it must be an internal tag, for example: #color-yellow, #color-green, etc.

If you want the text color to be white, add -white-text at the end of the slug in the 'Slug' field, like in the example hash-color-ultramarine-white-text. If you just use hash-color-ultramarine, the text color will be black.

1. Click 'Save', then go to the featured post and add your color tag to it.
2. Click 'Update' to activate.

1. To change the number of featured posts, go to the 'Design & branding' settings in the Ghost Admin.
2. Open the 'Theme' tab and go to the 'Homepage' section, then find the 'Featured posts limit' position.
3. Select how many featured posts you want to display (default is 5).

The most optimal number is the default value of 5. Displaying 10 posts also looks interesting, but remember that in the mobile view, only 4 posts will always be presented, regardless of the number of featured posts set. Overall, the guiding principle here is that the smaller the screen, the fewer posts are presented in the featured section. Additionally, in the mobile view, the number of displayed posts is always even. For example, if there are only 3 featured posts, only 2 will be shown.
