How do I enable posts in Featured category to appear in Top posts grid on default homepage?
Homepage is set to display as “Your latest posts”.

Hello mzirafos,

You can set it your Post Grid element from Narrow data source field, like this http://screencast.com/t/rea5vzbqwB

Hope this helps and let us know how it goes!

Thank you for the message!

Default homepage, when consisting of latest posts (as opposed to “static page”), has no page so I can’t edit it’s settings.

What other options can you suggest?

Hello mzirafos,

Unfortunately, our theme does not have such an option for blog mode but if you want to achieve as you want, it is necessary to alter the code. You should use do_shortcode method and add the code in index.php core file. First of all, you have to create, for example, a block with your desired configuration and then you have to copy/paste the code of this feature from Visual Composer to index.php. Please follow the steps below and try to implement this method into your backend.

The example of the code is ->

Please try to follow the steps that I gave you above and please notice that after this changes, it is necessary to do some custom style modification for a better look.
If you are not aware the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this for you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!

Thank you for the message!

Well, modifying theme files isn’t practical – all the changes will be overwritten on update.

So what I actually did:

I created new page, added top posts module with category filter, as you recommended.
Added posts module with acceptable layout.
Set this page as static main page.
