Basic installation of YAFPP is simple:

1. Upload the folder yet-another-featured-posts-plugin into the /wp-content/plugins/ directory

2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress

3. Select featured posts by clicking the 'featured stars' within the post listing in 'Posts > Edit'

4. Place <?php get_featured_posts(); ?> wherever you want a list of featured posts in your templates

Output options

For more advanced users there are a number of output options. Simply pass an option array: <?php get_featured_posts(array( 'method' => 'return' ); ?>. In this example <?php get_featured_posts(); ?> would return the formatted string of data instead of echoing it.

Output options include:

• echo : (Default) Echoes an HTML formatted string of featured posts
• return : Returns an HTML formatted string of featured posts
• arr : Returns a PHP array of data related to the featured posts
• the_loop : Alters the query for WordPress' The_Loop

See the FAQs for more info on output options.
