# Dynamic featured page

 * Hello,
 * I have set up the frontpage to be a static page while the blog is on a second
   subpage.
    I would like to redirect the first featured page to the latest blog
   entry. The first featured page should thus show a page excerpt from the latest
   blog entry together with a featured image from the latest blog entry. Now the
   question is how does one achieve this in customizr?
 * One idea could be to have the first featured page point to a link with a page
   that is dynamicallly upadated with the latest blog entry:
 * Ex. [http://www.somewebpage.com/latest-blog-entry](http://www.somewebpage.com/latest-blog-entry)
 * Thus when a new blog entry is entered the old one is archived and the new entry
   is shown on the above link.
 * Is this possible or is there another simpler way of achiving this?
 * Best regards,
    Michael

 * Hi Michael,
    you can create custom page template for Customizr child theme like
   I did here at [http://pastebin.com/zFYFgJZT](http://pastebin.com/zFYFgJZT) for
   you. It will show only lastst post excerpt, so what you need to do is to take
   this code and make e.g home.php file, copy it to root of your Customizr child
   theme folder, and then you need to create a page that will be shown on your Front
   page with “latest post page template” selected. Basically I added `<?php query_posts('
   showposts=1'); ?>` to default Customizr index.php file

 * Hi tomaja,
 * Thank you for your input.
 * I followed your instructions to the letter but the result is not exactly what
   I intended.
 * The basic idea is to replace the text and image belonging to the first featured
   page container in the Customizr theme with the page excerpt and the featured 
   image from the latest blog post. I have deduced that the relevant code is defined
   in __before_main_container in index.php in the Customizr theme. The featured 
   pages code is again defined in class-content-featured_pages.php. It is however
   no small challange to replace the nessecary code in that php file.
 * Any advice on how to procede?
 * Best regards,
    Michael

 * [@mln83](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mln83/) – Yep, I didnt quite understand
   you first time. I agree that it would be not small challenge, but maybe some 
   custom html would be helpfull in this case, check this [thread](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-add-more-feature-contents-to-home-page)

 * Hi [@mln83](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mln83/), the next release of 
   the theme (in the coming days) will allow more control on featured pages and 
   you should be able to do that.
    Stay connected! Cheers

 * Hi [@nikeo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nikeo/),
 * That sounds really great.
    I like the customizr theme and look forward to more
   options, especialy in respect to featured pages 🙂
