This plugin works within the Genesis Framework. It replaces the default Genesis Featured Page widget.
This plugin is a very slightly modified version of the Genesis Featured Page Widget. For sites using a static Front Page plus a Posts Page, this plugin will allow you to display your posts page in the widget. If you select the posts/blog page to show in the Featured Page widget, the output will work this way:
- if the posts page has no content of its own, the title and content of the first page shall be used for output.
- if the posts page has content of its own, even if it doesn't show on the page itself, the title and content of the posts page shall be used for output.
For standard pages, the behavior of the Featured Page widget is unchanged.
