Hi,
I would like to show only the featured category on posts. I’ve seen that the theme shows the featured categories only on small sliders. But I would like to replace the normal categories with the featured category.
For example, if I add this categories on a post, “Google”, “Apple”, “Microsoft” and select “Microsoft” as a featured category from the Post Settings panel, the post will only show Microsoft on the post page.
I am not sure if that helps. Please let me know how can I do that.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
unfortunately the theme was not designed to work like that. The function that generates the cateogires is here: http://screencast.com/t/pjwJsDzaBL
We have over 140 feature requests and if more people request this we will implement it.

I think for this you would need to create custom templates for each big category, where the Microsoft template has sidebar with the Microsoft posts shown. We did this on a site couple of years back, where we wanted really custom elements PER CATEGORY, and you can basically create new taxonomy like 1) Microsoft 2) apple 3) google … then when doing a post you’d choose the “Microsoft template post” vs default post.
This falls into the custom coding work done on many projects. I try not to do this kind of thing anymore, but you could likely build a custom plugin which does something like
if post main category is 123, then show latest 5 posts from category 123,
else if
post main category is 456, then show latest 5 posts from category 456,
not sure if that helps. But we did do this for one project back in 2011. I think it’s custom taxonomies… so you have to clone existing post template, then register the alternate versions then embed the code you want for sidebar, or use custom sidebar for each taxonomy.
