Featured Entries Changelog

This release fixes featured entry styling in DIY Layout and Maps Views and resolves two issues that caused featured entries to be filtered out unexpectedly.

🐛 Fixed

• Custom styling for featured entries did not apply in DIY Layout and Maps Views.
• The "Only show featured entries" option on the Recent Entries widget was ignored, showing all recent entries regardless of the setting.
• The gravityview_featured_entries_always_show filter was ignored, causing featured entries to be filtered out by user search even when "Move Featured Entries to Top" was enabled.

This update improves compatibility with GravityView 2.55+.

Note: Featured Entries now requires WordPress 5.0, PHP 7.4, and GravityView 2.28 or newer.
