I’ve solved it.

I think it’s a great feature for future Newspaper Updates!


<?php
$category = get_the_category();
echo do_shortcode ('[vc_row][vc_column][td_block_big_grid_fl_3 sort="featured" category_id="'.$category[0]->cat_ID.'"][/vc_column][/vc_row]');
?>

Thank you Simion,
I’ve tried to add the block, but the problem is that in every category page the block shows the overall featured posts and not the featured posts of that category.

Thank you for your anwser.

So I thinked a Way to get around the problem.

How can I add in the category page, before the posts view, a new Block (using one of the predefined blocks) with a specific Query that shows only the featured posts?

any hint?
