Dear support, as per my previews request we need to have a carousel with 4 listing slide in home page. Unfortunately the GD widget can show only one listing each time. We have tries to install the wp post carousel plugin that have this feature, but it does not have featured option. We’ve write to support and they gently share this little customizaTio to try.
$sql_array[‘meta_query’] = array(
array(
‘key’ => ‘_featured’,
‘value’ => ‘yes’
)
);

We have tried also without underscore but nothing. Can you tell us if into $post object we can find the featured variable and it’s name ? Or otherwise where are stored ? Thanks in advance and best regards.

I’m not 100% sure, but for that to work it should be:
```
'key' => 'is_featured', 
'value' => '1'
```
I’ll ask to Stiofan to confirm or give us correct code.

Thanks

It’s not really a meta value so i don’t think that will help.

What i have done is add the ability to show more than one listing slide in our slider, you can replace the two PHP files from out github version to be able to test before the next release if you want.

I used your implementation and it works great except for one thing. On my hompage there are 4 instances of this widget one after another. The widget only displays the first instance and the rest after it come up completely blank.

Any idea where I should look to fix this?
