Post Type Spotlight

This is not the same as sticky posts. Sticky functionality can only be applied to the core ‘post’ post type. More information on why

This snippet of code will fetch the 10 most recent posts that are featured.

<?php
$featured_posts = new WP_Query( array(
    'post_type' => 'post',
    'posts_per_page' => 10,
    'tax_query' => array(
        array(
            'taxonomy' => 'pts_feature_tax',
            'field' => 'slug',
            'terms' => array( 'featured' ),
        )
    )
) );

if ( $featured_posts->have_posts() ) : while ( $featured_posts->have_posts() ) : $featured_posts->the_post();

    //output featured posts here

endwhile; endif;
