Overview
While working on a custom WordPress theme we needed the ability to feature users and authors. So we created this ‘Featured users’ plugin which allows the administrator to easily star (feature) users. Then using a custom query in the theme, shortcode or widget; featured users can be displayed by only retrieving users with the custom user meta jsfeatured_user. The plugin does not make any changes to your current theme it only does the following:
- Adds a featured column in the Users panel of the WordPress Admin.
- When a user is featured the plugin adds or updates the custom field ‘jsfeatured_user’ and sets the value to yes.
- Provides custom widget that echoes out shortcode.
- Provides custom shortcode that echoes ul list of featured users.
- Includes theme functions and filters for developers.
