"Sticky" instead of "Featured"

Hi, is it possible to use the WordPress “sticky posts” instead of the “Featured” category?

I would like to filter post blocks by “only sticky posts”.
On news sites I always set a post block at the top with “only sticky posts”. This facilitates the positioning of important posts/news. And all my editors use this method currently.
Thanks for support.

Sorry for the many support messages (these are questions already asked about the comments on themeforest site).

… and the “exclude sticky posts” function would also be useful.
I would like to use a page template with a Covid post cul (Covid category) slider at the top, and a large photo post block at the bottom with only the sticky posts of all categories.
If I publish an important post on Covid, marked as a “sticky post”, it should be displayed on the slide, and not in the large photo post block.
This feature is present in other page builders like WPBakery (currently I use WPBakery with Newsbeat theme which I will change with your theme soon)

Hello!

Unfortunately, this function is not available in our theme at the moment to suit your needs.
One solution for this is to try creating a special category and put your important posts there, then you can filter by that category.

Thank you for your understanding!

Is it possible to hide the “featured” category from some user roles? Or should I use a plugin or php function?

Hello!

Unfortunately, there is no setting for that or a tested plugin.
But, you can search for a plugin which is suitable for your needs.

Thank you!
