cant get it working

[code]

'bedrijf', 'meta_key' => '_is_ns_featured_post', 'meta_value' => 'yes', ); // Get current page and append to custom query parameters array $custom_query_args['paged'] = get_query_var( 'paged' ) ? get_query_var( 'paged' ) : 1;

have_posts() ) : ?> have_posts() ) : $custom_query->the_post(); ?>

---

max_num_pages ); ?>

get_footer();
?>

[/code]

now both shop feat posts any suggestions?

I can show the featured posts by using <?php $query = new WP_Query( array( 'meta_key' => '_is_ns_featured_post', 'meta_value' => 'yes' ) );?>
I want to not show the featured posts. How I can hide the featured posts in all the posts ?

@amitsarker89 Try changing the args so that 'meta_value' => 'no'

how to show featured but per category? Not list all featured post, then just featured per post category? Suggestion of code pls? Tnx.

Hi I am a newbie to this plugin. Can someone teach me how to make this as a schortcode? So that I can apply any page etc. Thanks
